Saddam's Dream Team

WashTimes reports on Saddam's defense strategy. It is mostly a series of obstructionist tactics questioning the authority of the court trying him. A key component will be to argue that the US invasion is illegal, that Saddam is still the president and thusly the whole trial is illegitimate. The Atlantic had a good article on Saddam's defense team. The article even mentioned the source of the WashTimes article:

And in practice there are about twenty-five who form a core team, and among whom the real work has been divided. They include several lawyers in Baghdad of Iraqi nationality—this being a statutory requirement for practicing before the special tribunal. One of those is an attorney named Khalil al-Dulaimi, who was the first to see Saddam Hussein, last December, and who then came under threat of death and has since gone into hiding; the others in Iraq, whose visits to the defendants have been extremely limited, have wisely kept a lower profile—indeed, they remain anonymous for now.
