88 Congress members seek answers on secret Iraq plan

"Unfortunately, the mainstream media* in the United States was too busy with wall-to-wall coverage of a "runaway bride" to cover a bombshell report out of the British newspapers," John Conyers [Rep,Michigan] writes.

 "The London Times reports that the British government and the United States government had secretly agreed to attack Iraq

 in 2002,

before authorization was sought for such an attack in Congress, and

had discussed

creating

pretextual justifications

 for doing so."

[*It's only now that the NYTimes

comes clean

about not reporting

 the WWII Holocaust.]

From Representative Conyers official website comes this:

Foreign Policy - Iraq
Mr. Conyers has been following the effects of economic sanctions and the plight of Iraqi people from many years now. It is his belief that the economic sanctions currently in place against Iraq must be removed so that millions of Iraqi people will not continue to be oppressed due the US's no holds barred intent to punish Saddam Hussein at any cost.

It is clear that dubya et al .

were intent on killing Saddam

rather than remove sanctions.

. . .

It has often been said that you cannot achieve democracy by undemocratic means. Mr. Conyers would add as a corollary that you also cannot inspire respect for human rights by undermining them.
