Also, one other point. What evidence is there that if Indict had done its job properly, Saddam Hussein would have been indicted? There is no court that is able to indict him. There are the Arusha and Yugoslavia tribunals, but that is all. So whatever Indict could have done, at this stage the likelihood is that Saddam Hussein would not have been indicted. Members of CASI have consistently called for a less confrontational stance to Iraq. Had Saddam been indicted, he would be even more of an international pariah and country's would have found it very difficult to negotiate with him or the government he leads now or at any time in the future. Furthermore, how can you say that if Saddam had been indicted then all the Kuwaiti PoWs and similar detainees would have been freed? What evidence is there for this? ******************* ALAN BATES Christ's College St. Andrew's Street Cambridge CB2 3BU Tel: 01223 767607 ******************* -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a discussion list run by the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq For removal from list, email soc-casi-discuss-request@lists.cam.ac.uk Full details of CASI's various lists can be found on the CASI website: http://welcome.to/casi
