A group of Arab lawyers are planning to defend Saddam Hussein if the former Iraqi president stands trail for alleged crimes committed in office.
The Union of Arab Lawyers invited legal experts from Egypt, Lebanon, and Jordan to Cairo on 4 January to discuss forming a defence committee.
At the end of the meeting, they concluded that Saddam should be treated as prisoner of war, and his whereabouts must be disclosed.
They demanded that the International Committee of the Red Cross be allowed to visit him to ensure proper imprisonment conditions.
And they agreed that as he is still the constitutional president of Iraq, the US cannot legitimately incarcerate him. article
....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway. (They might as well have said.)
