Last week we reported that Saddam's daughter had fired all his lawyers. Today, the Iraq tribunal trying Saddam says the lawyers are not fired. Only Saddam can fire or hire lawyers, not his family.

    Raghad seems to be spinning her wheels, how can she claim that "The family of the president is free to choose whoever it wants to defend him and to remove whoever it wants" and "the ousted president was not able to make such decisions freely himself." in the same breath. If they are not allowing him to choose how in heavens name can she expect that they will allow her to choose? Then the bottom line is: "If you have too many lawyers then who is the client to sue if there is negligence?" Raghad family lawyer said. Looks like money is motive for the Hussein Heiress. Strange stuff and Saddam is still hidden from the world. I am still not convinced that he is Saddam.
