Moonbat Desert Convoy
Look out!
Here come the moonbat lawyers!
AMMAN (Reuters) - Saddam Hussein’s Jordan-based defense team said on Monday a convoy of buses is being arranged to transport hundreds of legal experts to Baghdad in a show of support for the ousted Iraqi leader.
Issam Ghazawi, a prominent lawyer and one of the 21-strong defense team hired by Saddam’s wife, told Reuters that among the large contingent of lawyers ready to defend Saddam are 700 non Arabs, including 400 Americans and Europeans.
Two hundred legal consultants from across the world have also pledged to help in the case, he said.
“More than half of the over 2,000 lawyers volunteering to defend President Saddam are expected to join the trip,” Ghazawi said.
A meeting in Amman on Wednesday will make the preparations for the overland trip to Baghdad, despite the risk.
Lawyers have voiced fears about their personal safety in Iraq citing remarks by officials who attacked Arabs who defend Saddam as a nationalist hero who fought the Americans.
