Reply #4: I have my problems with Chomsky

[fujiyama]

but Ramsey Clark is on a different level.

It's one thing to defend scummy people in a court because even scummy people need to be legally defended, but there's a disturbing pattern in the way Clark has defended so many terrorists, dictators, and war criminals. I'm sorry, but war criminals from Rwanda, Milosevic, the blind Shaek accused of the first WTC bombing, Saddam, a Nazi war criminal (a bodyguard of a concentration camp), the list goes on. And Clark has made it clear that he's defended them not just because they have to be defended by someone - but because he feels they are "persecuted" by the US government. Yeah, that's right, the US govt is "persecuting" a Nazi war criminal.

Fuck him. He did good things back in the day but he degenerated into a nutcase. As a liberal, I oppose all brutality and needless violence - whether by the US, or any other nation.

I myself had some differences with Clinton on the war in Serbia, but trust him and Wes Clark more on these matters than Ramsey Clark.
