BAGHDAD, Iraq —
A defense lawyer in Saddam Hussein's (search) mass murder trial has been found dead, his body dumped near a Baghdad mosque with two gunshots to the head, police and a top lawyers union official said Friday.

In other violence, four U.S. service members were killed in two attacks Thursday, the U.S. military said. Three Marines died when a bomb hit their patrol in the village of Nasser wa Salam, 25 miles west of Baghdad (search), and other American troops clashed with gunmen, killing two insurgents and capturing four, the military said.

An American soldier was killed in the northwestern town of Hit by "indirect fire," a term that usually means a mortar or rocket attack, the military said.

Nineteen Americans have been killed in the past week. The latest deaths brought to 1,992 the number of members of the U.S. military who have died since the beginning of the war in 2003, according to an Associated Press count.

The lawyer, Saadoun Sughaiyer al-Janabi (search), was abducted from his office by 10 masked gunmen Thursday evening, a day after he attended the first session of the trial, acting as the lawyer of one Saddam's seven co-defendants.

Wow, that didn't take long. So, who still thinks the Iraqis were happier under Saddam? Anybody?

Don't get me wrong, this was a horrible and lawless act. I want Saddam to get a fair trial, then get thrown in jail. However, I think it's a real illustration on how hated he is.

Was it the French one? The smarmy fuck who gave interviews with a cigar in front of the Eiffel Tower?

As I understand it, it is the one who was sitting next to Saddam in his cage when he appeared in court on Wednesday. Too bad it wasn't Ramsay Clark. Bad, bad me!!! Not politically correct at all. :tng:
