Saddam trial

A lawyer for one of Saddam's co-defendants was killed a week or two ago. Today two more lawyers for two other co-defendants were shot at. Don't know what to make of it? I'd suspected that if there was going to be violence, then the insurgents would target the judges in the case. I would think that the insurgents would be allied with Saddam and his fellow scoundrels. I find it odd therefore that they would go after the lawyers who are trying to defend their buddies. Perhaps this is their wicked way of unleashing rumors that the government or the coalition forces are behind these incidents.
