In case anyone needed further evidence of how insane the world has become... or should I say...the depth some people will sink to for the sake of making money. Is this not rediculous?<br /><br /><br />AMMAN - Saddam Hussein's Jordan-based defence 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. <br /><br />Issam Ghazawi, a prominent lawyer and one of the 21-strong defence 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. <br /><br />Two hundred legal consultants from across the world have also pledged to help in the case, he said. <br /><br />"More than half of the over 2000 lawyers volunteering to defend President Saddam are expected to join the trip," Ghazawi said. <br /><br /><br /><br /> http://www.nzherald.co.nz/storydisplay.cfm?storyID=3576703&thesection=news&thesubsection=world
