Wanted: Lawyers

Lawyers for Saddam Hussein have threatened to boycott the next trial session according to a report by the BBC. This follows news that another of their team has been killed, and another injured. So why is it happening? Are people trying to keep Saddam from being tried? From having effective legal representation? Or is there so much hatred towards him that people just want to see him (and his supporters) dead. It is had to imagine the lasting damage done to the Iraqi people and their culture during his reign and the need to take revenge must be palpable. If Saddam wasn't being tried under international law, and was still under arrest or awaiting trial, how would he be dealt with by Iraqi law? Differently? Do Iraqis feel they should be in charge of "handling" Saddam?
