Dear All, Re Eric Herring's contact who has said the document was to warn of Iraq's vulnerability over water, not a document suggesting water was attacked, in Ramsey Clark's The Fire this Time - p210, 1994 edition (ISBN 1 560255 071 2): 'An immediate result of the destruction of targets selected for aerial bombardment was the endangerment of the entire civilian population. Within days after the bombing began on January 17th, there was no running water in any city, town, or village in Iraq. There was no electric power and no communications.' Without power, pumping stations that might work weren't viable anyway.
