She said the group harmed the former Iraqi President because of the conflicting legal advice they provided. A legal advisor to the family said Saddam Hussein's defense now included prominent American, European, Asian and Arab lawyers who were chosen on the basis of confidence and merit. But he would not reveal the identities of the new council."
