A UN human rights report today credited the US-led coalition with ending years of violations by Saddam Hussein’s regime, but also cited concerns over prisoner abuse. “The fall of Saddam Hussein removed a government that preyed on the Iraqi people and committed shocking, systematic and criminal violations of human rights,” said the report by the UN high commissioner for human rights. |

Definiton of Murder:
The offense of killing a human being with malice prepense or aforethought, express or implied; intentional and unlawful homicide..
I don' t think the international forces who liberated Iraq and Afghanistan are guilty of murder, at all.
In fact, they're heroes.
It's pretty obvious that you intend to kill them (or at the very least seriously harm them)
When you drop bombs on cities you're not just doing it as a hobby.
When you order a hundred thousand other people to drop bombs on and shoot guns at other people then it's pre-meditated murder.
FOREIGNERS WHO RIDDLE CARS UP IF THEY SUSPECT IN THE SLIGHTEST THAT OSAMA/ AL SADR/KIM JONG IL/"THE BAD GUYS" ARE IN THAT VEHICLE.
The Independent (uk) has reported numerous incidents involving whole familes being shot up in their vehicles, but they would anyhow, because they are ( hushed tones, pause for breath, oo-ee) The Left.(cue Hammer horror style music)
War is like totally awesome.Dude.
If you found somewhere to cut and paste this from then it'd be nice if you'd share the original source with the rest of us.
They praised them but they also criticized them. Forgot that part, did you, Lizard King? Whoops.
Editors,I remember twas the Sunday fore last, I got the UK Independent on Sunday big front page, and middle section. So wait till I see if they have it in de archives. two minutes
look at 23 may at
www.independent.co.uk
it is such a sh&t website though, you have to pay to read the articlles. At least the PD loving Indo here has a calender where you can pick and choose your days of issue.And you can read articles for free.
... is available at un.org (see link below)
It's not all praise, as mentioned above.
“Mr. Al-Rawi said that the ill-treatment which he suffered as a political prisoner under Saddam Hussein was bad, but that during his days in Abu Ghraib as a Coalition Forces detainee he suffered humiliation and mental cruelty, in addition to the physical torture,” the report states.
In comments on the report, the United States authorities stated that they were “particularly concerned about these allegations which they considered extreme and inconsistent with other reports.” They added that the charges would be investigated.
Yeah, well everyone knows that the UN has always been a vehicle for American imperialist policy, providng the necessary fig-leaf of respectibility when needed.
I think we can treat this as more US propaganda through their imperial PR agency, the UN.
Did the UN really say this?
But evryone knows that the UN is a puppet of US imperial policy.
