Always.
Political grandstanding won't help Saddam. And, as his attorney, that would be his REAL job. In fact, to act against Saddam's interests is called malpractice.
I want Saddam to have the best possible defense in the world. I want it to be as fair as possible. The fairness and impartiality of the judicial system is the only thing that gives us a foundation for meting out punishments for crimes.
The Iraqi people have a long and proud history, and I think it's important to take a VERY close look -- through the judicial process -- at how this man brought the Fertile Crescent to its knees over the past decades.
