[casi] Newsnight 19/1102 (harming his own people)



Also in the same interview, Cohen was able to get away with repeating the line about
SH harming his own people. Please remember:

1)      our governments actively supported SH during and after Halabja etc even to the
point of spreading misinformation. David Frost recently let this slip in to his interview
with Tony Blair who was totally lost for words - David Frost rescued him!

2)      US/UK sanctions have killed between 1 and 2 million Iraqi civilians (largely
children) - far more than any repression in Iraq

3)      Don't let interviewees get away with trying to blame SH for the effects of
sanctions or worsening their effect or any building palaces nonsense - see Halliday and
Von Sponeck for info on this
