Mohammad Rashdan, one of lawyers appointed
by Saddam Hussein's wife, has said that allegations that Saddam will
get a fair trial are baseless and called the proceedings a "mockery of
justice." Rashdan said the defense team has not been given any of
the documentation prepared by the Iraqi Special Tribunal, set up to try
war crimes in Iraq, and added that he and other lawyers had been
threatened by Iraqi officials. Another of Saddam Hussein's
lawyers has said that Saddam's legal team will argue that the Iraqi
Special Tribunal is an illegitimate court. [more]
