In a rather bizarre twist in the ongoing saga of the Saddam Hussein's trial, former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark has taken it upon himself to join the defence team.
Clark met with Saddam after the shambolic events in the court house on Monday. Clark said that Saddam was in "very good spirits."
I would venture to suggest that this is because Saddam, so far, has managed to "call the shots" in the two days that he has appeared in court.
Clark said that they were initially left alone in the room, but then they were joined by two soldiers.
Clark is quoted as saying:
"Saddam has been in total isolation. He hasn't seen a member of his family, talked to a member of his family, met with a lawyer or met with friends he has known before."
Adding:
"His mind was as clear and as sharp as ever."
Do I detect a degree of admiration emanating from Clark?
