Hypocrites In Wolves' Clothing
The United States keeps on trotting out the "he gassed his own" people line of argument as justification for its war plans -- and the mainstream media keeps on regurgitating it without comment.
As part of his "evidence" presented to the UN last Wednesday, indeed the "most damning" piece of evidence, Colin Powell cited Saddam's gassing of the Kurds.
As previously mentioned, not only did the United States support this bit of nastiness at the time, but it also wants Saddam to be granted immunity from prosecution for these crimes, in exchange for his going into exile.
What You Can Do: Write to your local paper, asking it to point up the hypocrisy of the Administration's repeated listing of this crime as evidence of the need to destroy Iraq.
