Americans Fly to Iraq as Part of Relief Effort, Call For an End to Sanctions
by Greg Myre

Saturday, January 13, 2001
Another group of 50 American activists was expected to reach Baghdad on Saturday night, headed by former Attorney General Ramsey Clark... Most of the flights manage to skirt the sanctions issue by including humanitarian aid, which is permitted. The Americans and others have portrayed their flights as a challenge to the sanctions, but U.N. officials have not taken that view. At the United Nations, a U.S. official said Friday that the United States allowed the flight to be approved, though it was viewed as a "propaganda tool for Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. It's well documented that there is plenty of food and medicine to go around in Iraq. But Hussein chooses not to distribute it," said Mary Ellen Glynn, spokeswoman at the U.S. mission. "He is happy to send food and aid to the Palestinian people when it serves his purposes but he doesn't distribute it to his own people." The sanctions have never blocked humanitarian aid, and the U.N.'s oil-for-food program allows Iraq to import basic goods. However, Iraq blames the sanctions for more than 1 million deaths over the past decade.
Ramsey Clark to Protesters: 'Let's Impeach Bush'

[Former U.S. Attorney General under President Johnson, Ramsey] Clark told a crowd of cheering anti-American demonstrators gathered in Washington, D.C., ...that Bush has already "waged war, first strike and pre-emption, on his own, without the consent of the Congress or the United Nations." In fact, Bush has won resolutions of support for his Iraqi policy from both bodies. Next the former AG asked the crowd, "Has [Bush] threatened to use nuclear weapons?" "Yes," came the response, despite the fact that that charge was also erroneous. "Has he authorized and condoned assassinations, summary executions, kidnappings and secret holding of people in unlawful detention?" Clark wondered aloud, before adding bizarrely, "And bribery!"
Ramsey Clark contributed to this critique of the Klintons' and George Soros' nice little war in Yugoslavia. Among the other contributors are Slobodan Milosevic and the cop killer Mumia Abu-Jamal. It really makes me laugh when such scumballs complain that we don't have free speech in the US. :')
