These guys must have thought they were going to be treated like lawyers grandstanding on NYC courthouse steps. Saddam's Lawyers Scrap Iraq Trip Citing death threats, Saddam’s defense team has called off a trip to Baghdad. Mohammad Rashdan, co-ordinator of a 21-strong team, said “the threats we are getting from senior Iraqi officials who say they will tear us to pieces” are the reason preventing a trip to Baghdad. Rashdan is coordinating the team of mainly Arab lawyers, who have a power of attorney by Saddam’s wife Sajida Khairallah. “We are getting one threat after the other,” Rashdan said. Lawyers have voiced fears for their safety in Iraq, citing remarks by officials against Arabs who defend Saddam as a hero who fought the Americans. The Reuters story does not make clear any specific threats made against the legal team. command-post.org
