Saddam's lawyer confirms that his client was tortured

[maddogchen]

Muhammad al-Rashdan, the lawyer of the former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein said that he had received a report from the International Committee of the Red Cross confirming that Saddam Hussein -- who is held by the American forces -- has painful wounds in various parts of his body.

Al-Rashdan explained in a press statement that the report he had received two days earlier in Amman confirms that Saddam Hussein is hit by several wounds in his body on January 21, this year.

Al-Rashdan -- who is officially authorized to defend Saddam by his wife Sajeeda on her own behalf and for her daughters Raghad, Rana and Hala -- considered that this confirmed that Saddam was exposed to material and moral torture, a matter which constitutes a flagrant violations of the Geneva agreements, renewing his demands to immediately release Saddam.

The Jordanian lawyer stressed that the international law stands with his client and that he intends to head to the US to meet with officials at the US administration to follow up the issue of Saddam's continued detentions and his material and moral torture.

Al-Rashdan said " I have asked the US justice secretary and the Defense and secretaries of state and did not receive an answer to that." He also extended a message to them demanding the release of Saddam's money confiscated during his detention estimated at USD 750,000 and handing over the sum to his wide Sajeeda.

So I guess that means you believe 9/11 was orchestrated by a Zionist plot?

Edit: And it would be more accurate to say a muslim lawyer, since Islam supports lying when it involves infidels. Should I bring out the appropriate quotes?

What are you talking about? How did you leap from Saddam to Zionist plots and 9-11? You are just tossing out random noise. This is not about me. You made a racist comment about Arabic people lying.

I'd rather wait untill Red Cross releases something, the source is far from credible

Either way I wouldnt think that Rumsfeld would be that stupid as to allow something like that happen - everyone knows that RedCross and Amnesty Int. visits Saddam regularily. They would definitely find out if that was going on and Rummy cant really afford another scandal...

halik:

Well, I'm surprised he's alive still. That's a lot of restraint by our soldiers.

Anyway, you know darn well that the CIA pushed Saddam to the limits of torture. Finding those WMD was their goal. Yet, no WMD. Must be hard for GW to handle....

I would rescind such a remark

 

[Fingolfin269]

You mean Saddam may have suffered a bit of torture? Well, whatever it was, I hope it was more than 'mock' sexual acts.

he was tortured? who cares

he won't live thru any trial anyway, to many countries with to much to hide to rish putting him on the stand and saying the wrong things. The USA isn't the only one he has to worry about. He's a dead man once he is handed over to Iraqi officials

Copied from humanists.net Who are we?
Although some dislike categorizing, most anthropologists agree that three distinct races exist: the Caucasoid, Negroid, and Mongoloid. Each of these broad groups can be divided into subgroups&endash;for example, the Negroid group includes the peoples of Africa south of the Sahara, the Pygmy groups of Indonesia, and the inhabitants of New Guinea and Melanesia. Lacking, however, is general agreement as to the classification of such people as the aborigines of Australia, the Dravidian people of South India, the Polynesians, and the Ainu of North Japan.

No you shut up. You would LIKE a place where you and your like can spew all the racist comments you desire, don't you? I am getting a little sick of people equating Arab to Terrorist. That is like equating southern white american males to KKK memebers.

It's clearly an ethnicity, regardless of how many hairs you split to defend the original comment. Would you argue that "sand n1gger" is not a racially offensive term, by way of illustration? I actually don't know that alchemize was implying that Arabic = liar, but your defense of him does nobody any favors.

Wow, a little angry at life? Where do you get off calling me 'you and your like' and then associating me with racism? Where does my statement even remotely suggest that I equate Arab to Terrorist? There's so many damn babies in P&N and this is the main reason I usually don't even come here. PLEASE STOP WHINING and accusing me of things that are not true.
