Saddam’s Moonbat Lawyer: Grandstanding Already
Saddam Hussein’s moonbat US lawyer, Curtis Francis Doebbler, wasted no time firing up the propaganda engines and grabbing headlines: Saddam’s Lawyer Seeks Supreme Court Action.
WASHINGTON - Attorney Curtis F.J. Doebbler has made an unusual appeal to the Supreme Court on behalf of an unlikely client — Saddam Hussein.
Doebbler, the lone American on Saddam’s legal team, wants the high court to declare the detention of the ousted Iraqi president unconstitutional. …
“Even the people we dislike the most have a right to a fair trial,” said Doebbler, who volunteered his services on the 20-member team with lawyers from Belgium, Britain, France, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya and Tunisia. Doebbler said his clients over the past decade have gotten little media attention: Ethiopian refugees, displaced persons in Sudan’s Khartoum State, and political activists in Sudan.
His work for his latest client has earned him threats but not deterred him, he told reporters Thursday. “Whether it’s a former president or whether it’s a refugee, individuals have the same basic human rights,” he said.
Doebbler has been critical of the United States’ invasion of Iraq.
In an article on his Web site, he wrote, “The world’s most powerful army is an army of cowards. They are soldiers who are willing to risk the lives of innocent civilians to protect their own. I don’t know about my fellow Americans, but I don’t feel very much protected by such cowards.”
Lovely fellow.
