1,100 Lawyers

Not a lawyer joke: 1,100 Lawyers Leave Saddam Defense Team.

Some 1,100 Iraqi lawyers have withdrawn from Saddam Hussein's defense team, citing insufficient protection following the slayings of two peers representing co-defendants of the ousted Iraqi leader.

In a statement obtained Sunday, the lawyers did not say whether Saddam's chief Iraqi attorney, Khalil al-Dulaimi, was among those who withdrew. But the statement said other members of the team in Baghdad were continuing their duties "under complex and dangerous circumstances."

If 1,100 lawyers can't get Hussein off, he must really be guilty! Michael Jackson only needed a few hundred.
