Saddam Lawyer Wants Supreme Court Intervention
Friday, July 09, 2004

WASHINGTON — Attorney Curtis F.J. Doebbler (search) has made an unusual appeal to the Supreme Court on behalf of an unlikely client — Saddam Hussein (search).

Doebbler, the lone American on Saddam's legal team, wants the high court to declare the detention of the ousted Iraqi president unconstitutional.

The long-shot legal maneuver comes as Saddam's lawyers await the chance to meet with their client and find out what charges he will face in a war crimes trial by Iraq's new government. He could face the death penalty.

"Even the people we dislike the most have a right to a fair trial," said Doebbler, who volunteered his services on the 20-member team with lawyers from Belgium, Britain, France, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya and Tunisia.

Doebbler said his clients over the past decade have gotten little media attention: Ethiopian refugees, displaced persons in Sudan's Khartoum State, and political activists in Sudan.

His work for his latest client has earned him threats but not deterred him, he told reporters Thursday. "Whether it's a former president or whether it's a refugee, individuals have the same basic human rights," he said.

In an article on his Web site, he wrote, "The world's most powerful army is an army of cowards. They are soldiers who are willing to risk the lives of innocent civilians to protect their own. I don't know about my fellow Americans, but I don't feel very much protected by such cowards."

Outrageous. Note that the slimy scumbucket didn't have the guts to say this to the face of one of the folks he characterizes as "cowards".

Why is this asshole still breathing my air?

My God,is this guy for real?!!!! There is no way possible this could happen right?! (reasurance please!)

It's a sad day when a lawyer does something like this in the name of money and fame.

You mean the stereotype that good defense lawyers will do anything they can, within the law, to defend their clients? Its not just a stereotype, its true, and it part of what makes our system great.

How sad, that a defense lawyer would attempt to do his job. You people make me sick. Apparently you'd like defense lawyers to do whatever is neccessary to ensure their clients lose. A pretty pathetic attitude if you ask me.

And what part of his "job" do you suppose the sleazy bastard was doing when he wrote those words?

In a trial by jury, the lawyer is fully in the right and to be commended for doing the job well. -REGARDLESS OF SIDE COMMENTS.

However, is this a trial by jury of peers?

NO.

If it were, he would fry.

Peers are associates, neighbors or co-workers who know his character.

Anyone knowing what he is capable of would dice him up regardless of lawyers.

-That is not America over there, folks.

Saddam is already a dead man walking. Their going to serve him for dinner after they are done the aformentioned slicing and dicing. This scumbag wants to get 15 minutes of fame by defending a KNOWN mass murderer.

This guy call himself an American - sounds like a cowardly pandering socialist/communist piece of shit. I won't bother telling you how I really feel about a so called American submitting editorials to Aljazeera bashing his country.

"What it really means to be an American

Curtis F.J. Doebbler

8/29/03



I have often been criticized for criticizing the United States government and the American people.

I am an American. My family is American. I love America. And I want to see America become a great nation.

I want to see an America that cooperates with its neighbors and does not threaten them. I want to live in a world where America peacefully co-exists with other people in other nations and does not murder and mistreat people in other countries in violation of the norms of human dignity. I want to live in an America that is wealthy because it shares the world's resources with others and does not merely exploit other countries for its own benefit. I want to live in an America where people practice the religious values they preach and do not use these values to justify their hatred of others. I want to live in an America where my President and my government respect international law and the human dignity of other individuals everywhere in the world and do not regularly violate the laws and sanctity of human life. I want to live in a world where I feel protected as an American citizen because others view me as a friend and not a world where I am the enemy because of my government's disrespect for the lives and well-being of others."

Rest of pathetic rambling -

This guy Doebbler or whatever just got me pissed.

http://dcregistry.com/homepages/curtis.html is his home page. He links to an article he wrote stating the war in Iraq is Illegal and the US should be brought to task. My question is by whom? Anyway, I sent him an e-mail:

"You amuse me. You cite violations by America of international law decrying that the action in Iraq is illegal. However, like all leftists, you fail to source proof of your allegations.

You sir are no American, you are a joke."

Doubt if I will get a response.

BTW his address as listed on the web site is :[email protected]

Notice that it appears to be in Egypt? Anyway, send him a note and let him know your thoughts.

Rick

I suppose he wasn't doing part of his "job." God forbid people be allowed to do something other than their "job."

I think he's already gotten more than his 15 minutes on this thread.

What do you suggest? That Hussein not be allowed a defense attorney? Is that what you think would be best, oh wise one?

What a horrible horrible vision for America!!! It would be so horrible if we were able to "peacefully coexist with ... other nations", "to live in an American that is wealthy ... where people practice the religious values they preach". And the worst idea of all, the one that really pisses me off, this guy wants to "feel protected as an American citizen." What a NUT!!! Oh yes, this guy is truly a hater of America if THIS is his vision for her.

He has 10 already. This american is a POS for defending him. Did any American stand up to Defend any of the Nazis during Nuremberg? Just the mentality of lawyers these days. Anyone is up for grabs. OJ killed people? So what we'll get him off for the right price. Child molester rapes an 8 year old girl? Who cares. He's still worth defending.

Everyone needs someone to defend them but you have to question those that go out of their way to defend these scumbags.
