French lawyer to defend Saddam
French lawyer Jaques Verges, who gained notoriety by defending Nazi war criminals, will defend Saddam Hussein.
He will be supported by a dozen other French lawyers to mount a defense case.
Now why am I not surprised?
Kofi Annan Fires Whistle Blower
The United Nations has refused to renew the contract of a doctor who co-authored a book critical of the U.N., and his lawyers have accused the world body of breaking a promise to protect whistleblowers.
Canadian lawyer Andre Sirois, a former U.N. whistleblower who is representing Thomson, said he has told five or six U.N. staffers with information about the U.N. oil-for-food program in Iraq, which is being investigated, not to say or do anything because they could lose their jobs, like Thomson did.
After a dozen years of contract renewals and good performance evaluations, Thomson said he was informed on Nov. 23 that his contract wasn't going to be renewed after Dec. 31.
Yeah, nothing fishy there.
