The Circus Is Coming to Town

Hattip: Little Green Footballs

The Saddam Hussein Circus is coming to town as the former dictator is preparing a legal challenge in U.S. courts

Citing a fifty leaked brief prepared by his defense team, Clive Stafford Smith, a British human rights lawyer has advised Saddam to take his case to U.S. courts “to ensure he receives a fair trial” and “basic legal rights given to those tried in the United States, such as full access to his defense team and an independent judge and jury…”

The leaked brief is entitled “The Iraqi Special Tribunal as Victors’ Justice – the Inherent Illegality and Bias of the Whole Process.”

The brief argues that U.S. law should prevail in the case because the trial is effectively being taken at the behest of the U.S. government and that Saddam will have trouble receiving a fair trial because leading members of the Iraqi and U.S. administration have publicly called for him to be found guilty and killed to “validate” the war.

Note: Clive Stafford Smith is a beneficiary of the George Soros Foundation.

George Soros, a prominent backer of John Kerry in the 2004 election, has worked tirelessly, spending millions of dollars on the Democratic Party and to oust George W. Bush from office. Thus, the involvement of Clive Stafford Smith reveals the not-so-secret hand of Soros in a continued effort to discredit George W. Bush, a sitting president in the middle of a war.

Soros is a well-known power broker that has been implicated in the destabilization of small countries through the manipulation of their currencies. One wonders what would have happened to the United States if Soros had become the power behind the throne: what would have been done to the United States or in the name of the United States under his influence. We hope he will never have the chance.
