No matter. What's important, as Jim Kouri notes, is that Clark has "never met an enemy of America he didn't like."
Michelle Malkin (more here) tallies Clark's abysmal record of monster defending. I've provided annotation.
This is the man who:
Flew to Hanoi to give aid and comfort to the North Vietnamese while American POWs were being beaten, tortured, and killed.
["July 29 - August 12, 1972 -- Former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark travels to Hanoi on behalf of the communist Stockholm International Commission for Inquiry. Clark denounces the U.S. bombing of North Vietnam and visits American POWs, reporting that they are in good health and their conditions 'could not be better.'" wintersoldier.com]
Flew to Tehran to condemn the "Crimes of America" while his fellow citizens were being held hostage by Iranian militants.
["While in Tehran Clark publicly characterized the Carter Administration's failed military attempt to rescue the hostages as a violation of international law." - John Judis, April 22nd, 1991, New Republic]
Flew to Tripoli to cheer up Colonel Mohamar Qaddafi after the U.S. bombed Libya terrorist training facilities.
Flew to Baghdad to consult with Saddam Hussein. [And helped Dan Rather land his pre-war interview with Saddam. Media Research Center]
Flew to the defense of PLO leaders sued by the family of Leon Klinghoffer, the wheelchair-bound American tourist who was shot and tossed overboard from the cruise ship Achille Lauro by Palestinian commandos in 1986.
Flew to Yugoslav President Slobodan Milosevic's side, in a show of solidarity against American imperialism, to defend him against charges of genocide, rape, and torture against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo.
Flew to the aid of indicted Rwanda genocide conspirator Elizaphan Ntakirutimana, a Hutu pastor accused of luring hundreds of Tutsi men, women, and children into his church and hospital compound -- where they were massacred by gunmen and grenade-throwers.
[Clark described Ntakirutimana as a pacifist who couldn’t even “wring the neck of a chicken”.]
Flew to support the 1993 World Trade Center bombers (he played the race card for sympathetic minority jurors by decrying our racist judicial system), and continues to represent Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman, the scheming Muslim cleric now in federal prison for his role in planning New York City terrorist attacks.
[Clark: "At Shaikh Omar Abdul-Rahman's trial, what we saw in both FBI and CIA files, and this is their phrase, 'the greatest threat to the international and domestic security of the United States is Islamic fundamentalism'. But actually, 'Islamic fundamentalism' to them is redundant. So they have to convict a blind Islamic scholar of terrorism to show that Islam is, at it highest levels of learning and attainment, nothing but a terrorist concept."]
The Sheik Omar Abdul Rahman comment was made four years prior to 9-11 and more than suggests that Clark has learned nothing about evil despite having consorted with it for years.
Clark isn't interested in justice for the accused. Rather, his serial politicization of the individuals he defends, whose regimes have committed violent, sadistic crimes against humanity, serves a clear purpose: Advancing the anti-American agenda of the radical groupsherepresents.
And some words of encouragement to Jeff Revier: Welcome to the blogosphere dude. Don't believe everything you read in the liberal press and don't jump ship now. You've come too far. We've come too far. Ramsey Clark and his ilk would have you believe that George Bush, not Saddam Hussein, is the war criminal. Don't believe the hype. Posted
