Kerry's lawyer now working for Saddam Hussein

An expected member of Saddam Hussein's international legal defense team once represented John Kerry.

Ramsey Clark, head of the pro-Saddam protest group International ANSWER, is reported to be part of the former Iraqi dictator's legal defense team.

As an antiwar protest leader in 1971, Kerry retained the openly pro-Hanoi Clark to represent his group, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, in a suit against the federal government. Kerry's suit was to force the federal government to allow him to stage a political protest among the graves of soldiers at Arlington National Cemetery.

The April 23, 1971 edition of the Communist Party USA's Daily World newspaper ran a UPI photo of Kerry slipping Clark a note as the Hanoi supporter addressed demonstrators.
