Write to: letters@independent.co.uk Yesterdays UK Independent had an article and picture of Von Sponeck (15 Feb, p.16). No time to reproduce it all, but James Rubin is quoted as saying: "I think an article in the Iraqi press praising his approach is ample evidence of his unsuitability for the post". It also repeats the line that "food and medicines have never been included in the embargo", and the UK govt line that "the sanctions would end the moment Iraq satisfied UN demands that it account for all its weapons of mass destruction". I also saw a 'World in brief' bit in today's (16th) Times that the head of the WHO in Iraq has also resigned over the effects of sanctions. May be worth checking out the other papers for more news on this.
