Saddam to Get a French Lawyer. Check Out Who He’s Defended Before

AP reports [1]:

“PARIS (AP) — A French lawyer, known for defending terrorists and a Nazi leader, said Saturday he will defend Saddam Hussein. Jacques Verges told France-Inter radio he had received a letter from Saddam’s family requesting him to defend the former Iraqi leader in court.”

The article goes on to remind is that it is Verges who in the past defeded such men as Klaus Barbie and Carlos the Jackal.

Let’s look at the records of each of the men he’s defended in the past and see if we see a pattern, here.

According to an EmergencyNet release of 1994 at the time of the arrest of Carlos The Jackal:

“Carlos” is one of the best known “revolutionary terrorists” known in the history of modern insurgent movements. He reportedly has worked for Mohamar Qaddaffi of Libya, Saddam Hussien of Iraq, President Assad of Syria, Fidel Castro of Cuba, George Habash and the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), the Italian Red Brigade, Columbia’s M-19 Movement, the Baader-Meinholf Gang, and any number of other “Communist and Socialist” employers. His resume’ is almost unparalleled in the exploits of terrorists of the last three decades. According to anti-terrorist analysts, the only international terrorist of greater repute is probably Abu Nidal(Sabri Banna).

The article then goes on to say:

He is reported to have consulted with Col. Mohammar Qaddaffi and even Saddam Hussein, during their conflicts with the United States.

Hmmm. All of these listed orgs have two things in commom; their hatred for Jews, and their hatred for America.

And then, there’s the other one mentioned: Klaus Barbie.  Barbie was a Nazi Gestapo chief in France in World War II, who was convicted of crimes against humanity in Lyon, France, despite the best efforts of Verges. Says Wikipedia [2],

In 1941, Barbie was posted to the Bureau of Jewish Affairs and sent to Amsterdam and later, in May 1942, to Lyon—there, he earned the sobriquet “Butcher of Lyon” as head of the local Gestapo. He was accused of a number of crimes, including the capture and deportation of forty-four Jewish children hidden in the village of Izieu and the torturing to death of Jean Moulin, the highest ranking member of the French Resistance ever captured. All told, the deportation of 7,500 people, 4,342 murders, and the arrest and torture of 14,311 resistance fighters were in some way attributed to his actions or commands.

And now, Saddam, himself whose anti-Jewish, Anti-American motivations go without saying.

A pattern of the people this French lawyer defends, and the ideology that drives them, should be amply clear to you. I suspect other things about all the groups I’ve mentioned, should also be clear… their linkages to one another, for one thing.

Update:
I see Tom Kohl [3]has posted a link to the same story from his site.
I wonder how many others will pick this up? Not many, I think.

Update:2
Add to the list former Yugoslav leader Slobodan Milosevic.
And it should shock nobody that Verges himself is a Communist.
