RE: [casi-analysis] US plans to attack water installations



[ This message has been sent to you via the CASI-analysis mailing list ]

>Human Rights Watch, in Needless Deaths in the Gulf War, documents the bombing
of eight dams, repeatedly hit and heavily damaged, the bombing of four of
seven Iraq's water pumping stations, and 31 municipal water and sewage
facilities, see my book, Hidden Casualties.  Hardly a 'mistake'. I really
can't understand why this is in an issue and why you are critiquing Tom Nagy's
research at this stage, please explain, Philippa Winkler, Phd
