Killing and looting in Iraq...Shredding civil liberties...Robbing workers blind
Wanted for crimes at home and abroad

September 19, 2003 | Page 1

IF GEORGE W. Bush and his friends in Washington weren’t in charge of enforcing the law, they would be wanted by the law--for the crimes of murder, mayhem, robbery and more.
-snip-

Then there’s the murder and mayhem in Iraq--masterminded by Donald Rumsfeld and the Pentagon brass. Five months after Saddam Hussein’s government fell, conditions for ordinary Iraqis are worse than ever--with food, electricity, clean water and other necessities all in short supply.

And new atrocities by U.S. forces--like the massacre of 10 Iraqi police officers and security guards in Fallujah--seem to take place every other day. British journalist Robert Fisk estimates that the occupation-related death toll in Iraq today--from the chaos and banditry, the breakdown of the country’s infrastructure, shootings by occupation forces and other causes--may be as high as 1,000 people killed each week.
