This is what Ramsey Clark said in a recent BBC interview about Hussein’s order to kill 148 Shiite men and boys when his motorcade came under gunfire in 1982.

“He (Saddam) had this huge war going on, and you have to act firmly when you have an assassination attempt.”

So, he believes the killings did occur and that Hussein is guilty – but that extenuating circumstances of warmongering should excuse him.

That’s quite a defense lawyer.

Note that Clark is a leading face on the anti-war movement and the man who represents the ANSWER coalition dedicated to undermining the war effort.

Can it get any more absurd?
