http://www.swissinfo.org/sen/swissinfo.html?siteSect=143&sid=6345143&cKey=1135579836000AMMAN (Reuters) - Lawyers for Saddam Hussein have asked his Baghdad court for an independent investigation into claims by the ousted Iraqi leader that he has been tortured by his American captors. snip
"I have lodged a complaint with the court to investigate the crime against my client and torture against him during and after his arrest," Dulaimi told Reuters in an interview in Amman.
"We have asked for an independent medical team to examine the president to examine the bruises inflicted on him which are still there on his body," said Dulaimi without elaborating.
The White House has already dismissed Saddam's torture claim as preposterous. The trial has been adjourned until January 24.
Heck why not just grant the defense an independent investigation and prove once and for all that the USA doesn't torture anyone?
