Kurds Gassed / Iraq or Iran? + War for Water? A War Crime or an Act of War?
by Stephen C. Pelletiere
Editorial/Op-Ed 31JAN2003
http://web.archive.org/web/20080406205729/http://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/31/opinion/31PELL.html
MECHANICSBURG, Pa. - It was no surprise that President Bush, lacking
smoking-gun evidence of Iraq's weapons programs, used his State of the
Union address to re-emphasize the moral case for an invasion: "The dictator
who is assembling the world's most dangerous weapons has already used
them on whole villages, leaving thousands of his own citizens dead, blind
or disfigured."
The accusation that Iraq has used chemical weapons against its citizens is
a familiar part of the debate. The piece of hard evidence most frequently
brought up concerns the gassing of Iraqi Kurds at the town of Halabja in
March 1988, near the end of the eight-year Iran-Iraq war. President Bush
himself has cited Iraq's "gassing its own people," specifically at Halabja,
as a reason to topple Saddam Hussein.
But the truth is, all we know for certain is that Kurds were bombarded with
poison gas that day at Halabja. We cannot say with any certainty that Iraqi
chemical weapons killed the Kurds. This is not the only distortion in the
Halabja story.
I am in a position to know because, as the Central Intelligence Agency's
senior political analyst on Iraq during the Iran-Iraq war, and as a
professor at the Army War College from 1988 to 2000, I was privy to much
of the classified material that flowed through Washington having to do
with the Persian Gulf. In addition, I headed a 1991 Army investigation into how
the Iraqis would fight a war against the United States; the classified
version of the report went into great detail on the Halabja affair.
This much about the gassing at Halabja we undoubtedly know: it came about
in the course of a battle between Iraqis and Iranians. Iraq used chemical
weapons to try to kill Iranians who had seized the town, which is in
northern Iraq not far from the Iranian border. The Kurdish civilians who
died had the misfortune to be caught up in that exchange. But they were not
Iraq's main target.
And the story gets murkier: immediately after the battle the United States
Defense Intelligence Agency investigated and produced a classified report,
which it circulated within the intelligence community on a need-to-know
basis. That study asserted that it was Iranian gas that killed the Kurds,
not Iraqi gas.
The agency did find that each side used gas against the other in the battle
around Halabja. The condition of the dead Kurds' bodies, however, indicated
they had been killed with a blood agent - that is, a cyanide-based gas -
which Iran was known to use. The Iraqis, who are thought to have used
mustard gas in the battle, are not known to have possessed blood agents at
the time.
These facts have long been in the public domain but, extraordinarily, as
often as the Halabja affair is cited, they are rarely mentioned. A
much-discussed article in The New Yorker last March did not make reference
to the Defense Intelligence Agency report or consider that Iranian gas
might have killed the Kurds. On the rare occasions the report is brought
up, there is usually speculation, with no proof, that it was skewed out of
American political favoritism toward Iraq in its war against Iran.
I am not trying to rehabilitate the character of Saddam Hussein. He has
much to answer for in the area of human rights abuses. But accusing him of
gassing his own people at Halabja as an act of genocide is not correct,
because as far as the information we have goes, all of the cases where gas
was used involved battles. These were tragedies of war. There may be
justifications for invading Iraq, but Halabja is not one of them.
In fact, those who really feel that the disaster at Halabja has bearing on
today might want to consider a different question: Why was Iran so keen on
taking the town? A closer look may shed light on America's impetus to
invade Iraq.
We are constantly reminded that Iraq has perhaps the world's largest
reserves of oil. But in a regional and perhaps even geopolitical sense,
it may be more important that Iraq has the most extensive river system
in the Middle East.
In addition to the Tigris and Euphrates, there are the Greater Zab and
Lesser Zab rivers in the north of the country. Iraq was covered with
irrigation works by the sixth century A.D., and was a granary for the region.
Before the Persian Gulf war, Iraq had built an impressive system of dams
and river control projects, the largest being the Darbandikhan dam in the
Kurdish area. And it was this dam the Iranians were aiming to take control
of when they seized Halabja. In the 1990's there was much discussion over
the construction of a so-called Peace Pipeline that would bring the waters
of the Tigris and Euphrates south to the parched Gulf states and, by
extension, Israel. No progress has been made on this, largely because of
Iraqi intransigence. With Iraq in American hands, of course, all that could
change.
Thus America could alter the destiny of the Middle East in a way that
probably could not be challenged for decades - not solely by controlling
Iraq's oil, but by controlling its water. Even if America didn't occupy the
country, once Mr. Hussein's Baath Party is driven from power, many
lucrative opportunities would open up for American companies.
All that is needed to get us into war is one clear reason for acting, one
that would be generally persuasive. But efforts to link the Iraqis directly
to Osama bin Laden have proved inconclusive. Assertions that Iraq
threatens its neighbors have also failed to create much resolve; in its
present debilitated condition - thanks to United Nations sanctions -
Iraq's conventional forces threaten no one.
Perhaps the strongest argument left for taking us to war quickly is that
Saddam Hussein has committed human rights atrocities against his people.
And the most dramatic case are the accusations about Halabja.
Before we go to war over Halabja, the administration owes the American
people the full facts. And if it has other examples of Saddam Hussein
gassing Kurds, it must show that they were not pro-Iranian Kurdish
guerrillas who died fighting alongside Iranian Revolutionary Guards.
Until Washington gives us proof of Saddam Hussein's supposed atrocities,
why are we picking on Iraq on human rights grounds, particularly when
there are so many other repressive regimes Washington supports?

Electric boats have been plying waterways in Europe since around 1890. In 1905 the 'Victory' was launched on the river Thames, at that time the largest electric boat in the world. She was 93 feet long and wood built. The Victory could carry 350 passengers. Before the internal combustion engine became popular electric boating rivaled steam and horse drawn barges. Battery powered pleasure-boats were charged-up by steam powered generators and overhead cables. In England canals provided a comprehensive network for working narrow-boats carrying cargo. After 1905 the internal combustion engine became popular, ironically, due the the invention of the electric starter motor.
There are a growing number of solar powered boats and boat events.........

The real Art of Peace is not to sacrifice a single one of your
warriors to defeat an enemy. Vanquish your foes by always keeping yourself in a safe and unassailable position; then no one will
suffer any losses. The Way of a Warrior, the Art of Politics,
is to stop trouble before it starts. It consists in defeating
your adversaries spiritually by making them realize the folly
of their actions. The Way of a Warrior is to establish harmony.

corrupted youth
hey, you guys, who try hard to economically destabilize society for your own gain, i think i haven't been giving you your due. all this time i thought you didn't care that there is simply no more solid determiner of a person's likely fortunes in life than the welfare of their parents and their parents' community. dumb me.
not that i ever thought people weren't entitled to rub the random circumstance of their birth in the faces of the less lucky — a little ethno-cen-tricity — especially when the difference is paid in cash — but c'mon. jig's up.
the way you're so aggressive to squash local economies, forcing people all 'round the world into debt and their kids into poverty, you must have a damn good idea for how all those young people can beat the increased odds you're sticking them with.
what is it.
really. what is it. i won't tell a soul. just whisper it to me, what's the real inside scoop on free trade in practice — what's the magic ingredient that gets ordinary people a piece of the action?
bribes? prostitution? joining a gang? (hibiscus) 0 comments links more: op-ed automatyping witness the testimony (hibiscus) 0 comments links more: country only outlaws will have constitutions •••
john bolton, appearing on the daily show, which is not where i get most of my news, seemed to imply:
that voters in any presidential election, by virtue of choosing a candidate, are explicitly approving any and all actions that candidate may take in office, thereby waiving the right to have their interests protected by the executive branch; that voters who do not support the winning candidate have no reasonable expectation of having their interests protected by the executive branch; and that counsel, purposes, and related actions taken by the president, having been made possible by legal means, are thus made legal themselves, and the congress and the public have the right to question only those presidential actions as do not intrude on the president's right to choice of counsel and purpose
the end result of this thing of beauty being, in john bolton's opinion, not only that to expect a president to uphold the oath of office is against the principles of democracy (which are of course quite separate from the so-called law) — no no — bolton, and i guess the whole unitary executive crowd, seem to believe that the framers intended and signatories understood the act of holding even one presidential election as nullifying the authority of the constitution over the executive branch created therein — all based on some kind of contradiction within the obligation to execute the law to the best of one's ability?
or something? what? when did "we had to destroy the village in order to save it" get attributed to james madison? was i sleeping?
well, i can work with that. that seems to mean that the president could be impeached for being sworn in! i mean, for a federal official, what crime could be more high than entering into a binding contact to disobey the constitution?
and why do i bother with stuff like this.…
(ps) the phrase ambassador bolton produced from his mighty mountain of talking points was democratic theory. this is all that binds the president, he seemed to be saying. the practice of the existing body of the law is only hearsay evidence of the true theoretical force that lies behind the constitution, and from which the constitution draws its authority.
this is in fact a very important distinction. or seems to me. because, if you believe that your power is derived not from the binding agreement to follow the language of a contract, but from the set of principles from which the contract draws its language — meaning, the constitution, or any contract, by using language and legal concepts used in other contracts, loses its uniqueness and takes on absolutely any meaning a signatory wishes — wait.
this looks like the same thing as saying that because the united states constitution resembles and draws from the magna carta, it is the magna carta, up to and, yes, including the idea that language in the magna carta supercedes language in the constitution.
this makes me so happy. and it certainly is a fine theory, to say that because we're in a democracy, we can vote in our minds on how we want every law to apply to us. and it's a fine way to live, believing that the first rule of law is you can vote yourself immune both from your legal responsibilities and from prosecution.
(pps) "as a person of good conscience, i cannot take this oath of office, but i definitely still get to be president, because i was elected."

As far back as 2005, Haefeker ended an article he contributed to the journal Der Kritischer Agrarbericht
(Critical Agricultural Report) with an Albert Einstein quote: "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the
globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more
plants, no more animals, no more man."
Mysterious events in recent months have suddenly made Einstein's apocalyptic vision seem all the more
topical. For unknown reasons, bee populations throughout Germany are disappearing -- something that is
so far only harming beekeepers. But the situation is different in the United States, where bees are dying
in such dramatic numbers that the economic consequences could soon be dire. No one knows what is
causing the bees to perish, but some experts believe that the large-scale use of genetically modified
plants in the US could be a factor.

the end result of this thing of beauty being, in john bolton's opinion, not only that to expect a president to uphold the oath of office is against the principles of democracy (which are of course quite separate from the so-called law) — no no — bolton, and i guess the whole unitary executive crowd, seem to believe that the framers intended and signatories understood the act of holding even one presidential election as nullifying the authority of the constitution over the executive branch created therein — all based on some kind of contradiction within the obligation to execute the law to the best of one's ability?
or something? what? when did "we had to destroy the village in order to save it" get attributed to james madison? was i sleeping?
well, i can work with that. that seems to mean that the president could be impeached for being sworn in! i mean, for a federal official, what crime could be more high than entering into a binding contact to disobey the constitution?
and why do i bother with stuff like this.…
(ps) the phrase ambassador bolton produced from his mighty mountain of talking points was democratic theory. this is all that binds the president, he seemed to be saying. the practice of the existing body of the law is only hearsay evidence of the true theoretical force that lies behind the constitution, and from which the constitution draws its authority.
this is in fact a very important distinction. or seems to me. because, if you believe that your power is derived not from the binding agreement to follow the language of a contract, but from the set of principles from which the contract draws its language — meaning, the constitution, or any contract, by using language and legal concepts used in other contracts, loses its uniqueness and takes on absolutely any meaning a signatory wishes — wait.
this looks like the same thing as saying that because the united states constitution resembles and draws from the magna carta, it is the magna carta, up to and, yes, including the idea that language in the magna carta supercedes language in the constitution.
this makes me so happy. and it certainly is a fine theory, to say that because we're in a democracy, we can vote in our minds on how we want every law to apply to us. and it's a fine way to live, believing that the first rule of law is you can vote yourself immune both from your legal responsibilities and from prosecution.
(pps) "as a person of good conscience, i cannot take this oath of office, but i definitely still get to be president, because i was elected."

As far back as 2005, Haefeker ended an article he contributed to the journal Der Kritischer Agrarbericht
(Critical Agricultural Report) with an Albert Einstein quote: "If the bee disappeared off the surface of the
globe then man would only have four years of life left. No more bees, no more pollination, no more
plants, no more animals, no more man."
Mysterious events in recent months have suddenly made Einstein's apocalyptic vision seem all the more
topical. For unknown reasons, bee populations throughout Germany are disappearing -- something that is
so far only harming beekeepers. But the situation is different in the United States, where bees are dying
in such dramatic numbers that the economic consequences could soon be dire. No one knows what is
causing the bees to perish, but some experts believe that the large-scale use of genetically modified
plants in the US could be a factor.

Anthrax Attacks Linked to CIA and Drug Industry?
The anthrax was released by a US insider as part of a covert plan to restrict civil liberties, increase pharmaceutical profits and fulfil military and political objectives, so claims Harvard-trained health expert, Dr. Leonard G. Horowitz. Nick Papadimitriou reports.
Biotech companies are in league with the CIA and the US military, Horowitz alleges in a series of press releases, and he has challenged FBI director Robert Mueller to investigate those whom he considers to be the prime suspects. Two corporations, Bioport, the main beneficiaries of the US’ decision to invest in anthrax treatments, and Battelle Memorial Institute (BMI) are implicated. In 1998, Bioport won a contract worth $29m to make anthrax vaccine for the US Department of Defence. During the recent spate of mailings, the US government offered the vaccine to those exposed. This vaccine had not been approved.
Admiral William J. Crowe, Jr., the signatory of the contract on behalf of the military subsequently received 22.5% of Bioport’s stock.
Further, The Carlyle Group, US’ 11th leading defence contractors, are major shareholders of Bioport. Carlyle Group personnel include ex CIA director, Frank Carlucci, ex Prime Minister of UK, John Major, and, Horowitz claims, George HW Bush. (The Carlyle Group web-site listed the first two mentioned as key members, but there was no mention of the former US president.)
Horowitz points the finger at BMI as likely producers of the weapons grade anthrax used in the attacks. BMI directs the US government’s "Joint Vaccine Acquisition Programme" and has been awarded vaccine contracts worth more than $1bn. They were partnered with Bioport as the US’ sole anthrax vaccine producers. However it is possible that it wasn’t just anthrax vaccine that they were producing. The Washington Post reported last December that the anthrax in the attacks matched that used by the US army. DNA genetic fingerprinting of the spores indicated they were identical to those maintained by both the US Army at its Dugway proving grounds in Utah and to samples of anthrax stored at Porton Down, UK, the British government’s bioweapons research facility.
Horowitz cites an "anonymous pentagon official," quoted in a September 2001 article issued by Associated Press, as referring to "Operation Jefferson," in which "a new and highly lethal strain of anthrax" had been developed. BMI owns laboratories in West Jefferson. At about this time, BMI hired an anthrax expert, William C. Patrick III, to investigate the implications of mailing powdered anthrax through the post.
Horowitz also focuses on another group of potential beneficiaries of the anthrax attacks. These are also providers of bioweapon treatments. Bayer, who produce Cipro, the antibiotic used in the fight against anthrax and Acambis (formally OraVax and partnered with Aventis). Both companies were formed after World War II out of the German firm IG Farben, producer of cyanic toxin zyklon B, used in the Nazi gas chambers. The CIA, it is claimed, played a crucial role in the decartelisation of Farben, mainly because Allen Dulles, CIA’s first director was on the payroll of the Rockefellers’ who owned 50% of the Farben cartel. And at the time of Farben’s dissolution, its "flight capital" was handled, with CIA knowledge, by mainly American, Swiss and British banks.
Bayer did well out of anthrax and, on some readings, was rescued from virtual bankruptcy by the attacks.
The government struck a deal with Bayer whereby the company agreed to reduce the cost of its tablets from more than four dollars to $0.9 each, still a long way above the cheapest. Acambis, alongside Aventis, is contracted to produce the US’ smallpox vaccine. The contract is worth approximately $343m for 40 million doses.
In the wake of the anthrax attacks, calls were made to ask congress for another $500m to purchase enough vaccine for the US population.
The Emergency Preparedness Task Force, US’ standing advisory committee for bioweapons attack, is teeming with members of the Pharmaceutical Research and Manufacturers of America (PhRMA).

=Mondo WashingtonThe Bush Family CoupSon revisits the sins of the father on
Americaby James RidgewayDecember
30th, 2005 2:26 PM
WASHINGTON, D.C.—The 9-11 attacks provided the rationale for what amounts to a Bush family coup against the
Constitution. From the outset, President George Bush used 9-11 to reorganize the federal government and
increase its reach far beyond any existing law to delve into the lives of innocent, ordinary people. The
new powers allowed the government to arrest them at will and to subject them to endless incarceration without
judicial review. Some people were sent abroad to be tortured for crimes they had nothing to do with. Who
knows how many people have been tortured in American jails? When government employees within the intelligence
community sought to protest, the government fired them and made sure they could never get another job in their
areas of expertise. This extraordinary program of spying on Americans, much of which was carried out in fishing
expeditions under the Patriot Act, has the makings of a consistent and long-range policy to wreck constitutional
government. It is little wonder both left and right have come together to fight Bush and may yet jettison the
Patriot Act. Revelations of the domestic spy operation, with its secret wiretaps, ought to supply sufficient
evidence to impeach Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney and launch criminal prosecutions of the top federal
officials involved in carrying out the program. After all, these people are directly engaged in overthrowing
constitutional government. How did this all come about? GET THE COMMIESIn opening a conference on
counterintelligence in March 2005, former president George H.W. Bush, who headed the CIA from 1975 to 1977,
said, “It burns me up to see the agency under fire.” Recent criticism, Bush said, reminded him of the 1970s,
when Congress “unleashed a bunch of untutored little jerks out there” to investigate the CIA’s involvement
in domestic spying, assassinations, and other illegal activities, and subsequently passed laws to prevent
abuses. Bush was referring to the activities of the U.S. Senate’s Select Committee to Study Governmental
Operations With Respect to Intelligence Activities, commonly known as the Church Committee after its chair,
Idaho Democratic senator Frank Church. Among other things, the committee’s 1976 report detailed the workings
of the infamous COINTELPRO, an FBI domestic spying program on Civil Rights leaders, anti-war groups, and anyone
else who rubbed J. Edgar Hoover the wrong way. The report also detailed illegal domestic activities by the CIA
and military intelligence. A simultaneous—and even more contentious—investigation was carried out in the House
by the Select Committee on Intelligence, which also came to bear the name of it chair, New York Democratic
congressman Otis Pike. The Pike Report focused on the CIA covert actions, as well as on the CIA’s overall
effectiveness and its budget. Within days of the 9-11 attacks, officials of Bush the younger’s administration
and former intelligence chiefs were on the talk shows denouncing the “chilling effect” of the congressional
investigations of the 1970s, and of subsequent halfhearted efforts to regulate the work of the intelligence
agencies. Paul Bremer, the future head of the Iraq occupation, who had chaired the National Commission on
Terrorism from 1998 to 2000, said on CNN that the Church Committee did “a lot of damage to our intelligence
services. . . . And the more recent problem was that the previous administration put into effect guidelines
which restricted the ability of CIA agents to go after . . . terrorist spies.” Congress lost no time in
repealing these rather toothless earlier guidelines, along with a host of other restrictions, especially
those safeguarding the privacy of electronic communications. The Senate passed the Combating Terrorism Act
of 2001 on September 13, one of its first actions in response to the attacks. Between 1960 and 1974, the
FBI conducted half a million investigations of so-called subversives, without a single conviction, and
maintained files on well over a million Americans. The FBI tapped phones, opened mail, planted bugs, and
burglarized homes and offices. At least 26,000 individuals were at one point catalogued on an FBI list of
persons to be rounded up in the event of a “national emergency.” Hoover was particularly obsessed with
Martin Luther King and the civil rights movement, which he thought was influenced by communists. The FBI
proceeded to undermine the civil rights movement, planting agents among the Freedom Riders (and also the
Ku Klux Klan). Hoover put spies into the ranks of labor activists and of Democratic Party insurgents during
the 1964 presidential campaign. Meanwhile, the CIA began spying domestically. The Agency planted informants
of its own within the United States, especially on college campuses. Between 1953 and 1973, they opened and
photographed nearly a quarter of a million first-class letters, producing an index of nearly 1.5 million names.
Under something called Operation CHAOS, separate files were created on approximately 7,200 Americans and over
100 domestic groups. In 1964, the CIA even created a secret arm called the Domestic Operations Division, the
very name of which flew in the face of its legal charter. Back then, there were no “communications problems”
between the two agencies. RAISE THE WALLIn documenting all this, the Church Committee concluded the intelligence
community had engaged in actions “which had no conceivable rational relationship to either national security
or violent activity.” The report of the House’s Pike Committee documented a history of CIA covert actions, as
well as notable intelligence failures. As a result the CIA got out of domestic spying and the FBI supposedly
pulled back from its orgy of homeland snooping. Some rather modest oversight was applied, the most important
of which led to the creation of the “the wall.” This refers to application of the Foreign Intelligence
Surveillance Act (FISA). FISA was enacted in 1978, in the wake of the congressional investigations, as
a compromise that would allow the FBI and other domestic law enforcement to carry out counterintelligence
operations while putting some sort of restraints on COINTELPRO-type abuses. Under FISA, the FBI could
continue to do things like conduct searches and tap phones without traditional search warrants and without
probable cause, as long as agents were targeting terrorists, spies, or other purported enemies of the
United States, and as long as they got permission from a secret FISA court. There was concern from the
start that FISA would be used to circumvent the Fourth Amendment in routine criminal cases. So FISA
dictated that these warrantless searches and surveillance could be conducted only for counterintelligence
purposes, and not for regular criminal investigations. However, if a FISA search happened to turn up
evidence of a crime, this information could be handed over to law enforcement. According to a joint
inquiry conducted in 2002 by the Senate and House Select Committees on Intelligence, “the Intelligence
Community agencies, perhaps overly ‘risk-averse’ in dealing with FISA-related matters, restricted the
use of information far beyond what was required. The majority of FBI personnel interviewed . . .
incorrectly believed that the FBI could not share FISA-derived information with criminal investigators
at all or that an impossibly high standard had to be met before the information could be shared. Most
did not know [it] could be shared with criminal investigators if it was simply relevant to the criminal
investigation.” And anyway, the FBI never stopped its domestic spying. During the ’80s and ’90s the FBI
spied on and/or infiltrated peace and solidarity groups engaged in protesting U.S. involvement in the
wars of Central America, put agents into Earth First, and went after the far right, again trying to
plant agents and turn participants into informants. The shooting at Ruby Ridge and the raid in Waco
galvanized not just the right but the heartland against the Bureau. At Ruby Ridge, it was an FBI
sniper killing a mother with a baby in her arms. At Waco it was a monstrous assault on a religious
enclave. And the Bureau’s handling of the Oklahoma City bombing in 1995—with botched lab work and
lost documents—to this day fuels the controversy over the government’s role in that catastrophe.
Recent evidence suggests a federal agent may have penetrated the gang that conducted the bombing.
The informant told her superior, who sat on the information until long after the bombing. INSTALL
BIG BROTHER The failures of the FBI and CIA in 9-11 were not because of any wall. These agencies
failed because they weren’t doing their jobs right. The congressional investigation found the CIA
couldn’t penetrate al Qaeda—an especially odd claim since we had helped to create and finance al
Qaeda as an instrument to win the war against the Soviets in Afghanistan in the 1980s. John Walker
Lindh and other Americans walked right into al Qaeda and were greeted by its high officials. How
come the CIA couldn’t do the same? No wall kept the CIA from getting Osama bin Laden. They just
couldn’t find him. As for how the hijackers got into the U.S., it’s hardly a mystery. An FBI
informant among the Muslim community in San Diego socialized with two hijackers and rented a room
to one of them. When Congress tried to figure out how this happened, the Bureau covered it up, refusing
to allow the informant to testify. Again, there was no wall here—just plain incompetence made worse
by a deliberate cover-up. The FBI reportedly was informed in April 2001 by a longtime reliable asset
of an impending attack using airliners as missiles. It did nothing. An operation known as Able Danger
reportedly turned up information on and tracked hijacker Mohammad Atta as far back as 1998, but the
Pentagon wouldn’t tell the FBI what it knew. Even now, the Bush administration is fighting to prevent
the Able Danger officials from testifying before Congress about what they knew and when they knew it.
When it comes to intelligence, the only thing worse than the FBI’s record is the CIA’s. Given all
that’s happened, the only explanation for the Bush domestic spying is that it’s political. There are
no crimes involved here. But there is an overweaning desire by this so-called conservative government
to establish and institutionalize a Big Brother regime that tolerates no dissent and wrecks
constitutional government.
