Following on with another example: At the beginning of the interview with William Cohen, reference was made to the no fly zones. I really wish that your interviewers would challenge these - they have NOT been authorised by the UNSC. It is pure cheek for the US to pretend that they are covered by the new Resolution. Even the UK doesn't try this one. In future could you please qualify references to these zones? Simply stating 'no fly zones' assigns unwarranted status to them. Perhaps 'so called no fly zones' or 'self styled no fly zones' or 'no fly zones (lacking UN approval)'? Please also ensure that interviewers remember the arbitrary extension of the southern no fly zone up to Baghdad (as a punishment measure). This certainly puts the lie to any notion of 'humanitarian cover' which is a sick joke anyway as the US/UK sanctions are killing hundreds of thousands of civilians in those zones!
