If you were a lawyer, would you be reluctant to represent Saddam Hussein?

'PHILADELPHIA -- When Saddam Hussein has his day in court, he will need a lawyer at his side. And experts say that startling as it sounds, there will be no shortage of international high-priced, top-shelf defenders, though many in the world believe that representing Saddam would be akin to defending Pol Pot or Hitler, 'Papa Doc' or Stalin. When dealing with Nazi war criminals, Winston Churchill said, firing squads, not tribunals, were the appropriate remedy. But that is not what Saddam will face. 'I am sure there'll be a whole squad of attorneys to defend him,' said Kenneth Anderson, a fellow at the Hoover Institute at Stanford University and an expert in international law.'
