Arab Lawyers Union Planning Mock Trial (Sharon, Bush, Blair on Trial - Ramsey Clark is Prosecutor) Little Green Footballs ^ \| 12/22/05 littlegreenfootballs.com As the dictator Saddam Hussein goes on trial in Iraq, the Arab Lawyers Union is planning a little trial of their own: Arabs plan mock trial for Bush, Sharon. The Arab Lawyers Union, a Cairo-based organization which includes twenty-four national bar associations of Arab countries, has decided to hold a moot court hearing against “war criminals who harmed Arabs and Muslims,” the Arab media reported Tuesday. Comprising 400,000 lawyers from 21 Arab countries, the Union drafted a list of “war criminals” topped by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, U.S. President George W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. In the “indictment,” Prime Minister Sharon is accused of crimes against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, while Blair and Bush are held accountable for “war crimes” in Afghanistan and Iraq. The mock trial will be held at the Union’s headquarters in Cairo in February with organizers expecting to lure personalities like Nelson Mandela, former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Muhammad, and former Algerian president Ahmed Ben Bella to act as judges. The Union’s head Abed Al-Azim Al-Mughrabi said London Mayor Ken Livingstone, British MP George Galloway and the Mufti of Jerusalem Sheikh Ekrama Sabri will also be approached to act as juries. The general prosecutor in the symbolic trial is expected to be former US Attorney General Ramsey Clark, who is one of the lawyers defending Saddam Hussein. The accused will receive indictment letters through their country’s embassy in Cairo.

and they don't want to talk about War powers authorized by Congress or the duties of the Commander in Chief. All they are doing here is reminding Americans that they are soft on national security just in time for the next election cycle.
