Re: [CTRL] An Empire of Torture.

[Party of Citizens]

-Caveat Lector- Yes, PIR, it appears that U-S-A is "An Empire of Torture". Do not forget that almost 1,000,000 Iraqi civilians lost their lives to torture in the decade after Desert Storm. It is torture to deprive POWs of food, shelter, adequate clothing and medicine. It is torture to deprive civilians of the same.   Who then is responsible? That should be front stage and centre of the Saddam Hussein trial. The media would have us believe that he spent the oil revenue which the UN allowed him, to build lavish palaces while the people were deprived of necessities of life and died (He certainly wasn't spending it on WMDs). IF SO THAT IS SADDAM'S GREATEST CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY AND HE SHOULD PAY THE PENALTY FOR IT.   But what if the trial reveals that the revenues were so small, they REQUIRED him to use "life-boat ethics" against his own people? Who is culpable in the crimes against humanity? U-S-A or UN?   POC   PS-POC is developing a Torture Scale at http://www.geocities.com/universalhumanrightscanada/torturescale     www.ctrl.org DECLARATION & DISCLAIMER ========== CTRL is a discussion & informational exchange list.
