The First Thing We Do...

...if we're setting up a lawless state ... is kill all the lawyers.

Iraqi police Wednesday discovered the bullet-riddled body of Khamees al-Ubaidi, a lead defense attorney for former Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.

His body was found in a Shia neighborhood near the Sadr City section of Baghdad, police said.

An hour earlier, a group of men dressed as Iraqi police stormed al-Ubaidi's home and asked him to come to the Ministry of Interior of questioning, according to Najib al-Nouemi, a fellow defense counsel for Hussein.

Things are getting better in Iraq every day. That nice Mr. Cheney says so, and he wouldn't lie to me.

By the way, contrary to some revisionism, "Kill The Lawyers" was Shakespeare's idea of a good lawyer joke.
