Saddam Defense Team Convenes to Discuss "What Went Wrong"


Amman, Jordan: The legal team that defended former Iraqi president, Saddam Husseun convened yesterday in the Jordanian capital to discuss what they could have done to prevent the sentencing of their client to death by hanging. The flight and hotel expenses for the lawyers staying at the Marriott hotel in Amman were paid for by Raghad Saddam Hussein.

Pivazistan was among a handful of media outlets that were allowed to attend the press conference where Ramsey Clark vowed to publish a 286 page, double-spaced report on what he and his colleagues think went wrong with the trial.

The weeping former attorney general said, "we know we could have done more to save the Leader's life, we know we fucked up."
