Human Rights Watch Wants Probe of U$ Massacre of 600 Iraqis in Fallujah |
The U$ once again ignores international law. I guess only Serbs get
convicted of "ethnic cleansing", while Amerika and Israel can get away with
anything...
Watchdog: Probe Needed Into U.S. Action in Falluja
By Luke Baker
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A U.S. military offensive in Falluja last week in which
600 Iraqis may have died has raised concerns about excessive use of force
and needs immediate investigation, a leading human rights group said
Tuesday.
Civilians who fled the fighting described the streets of Falluja as being
littered with bodies, including women and children, and Iraqi politicians
have accused U.S. forces of meting out collective punishment on the city's
residents.
"The questions being asked are very legitimate. When you cordon off a town
and hear many stories that are very worrisome about civilians being killed
it needs to be examined," said Hania Mufti, a senior researcher for Human
Rights Watch, a New York-based rights group.
"There is enough from the footage we've seen and from what has been said
about what went on in Falluja to warrant a very serious investigation. We
are deeply concerned about the consistent reports we are getting about
women, children and unarmed civilians being killed," Mufti told Reuters.
She stressed that most of the information received so far was anecdotal and
said no conclusions could be drawn until a full investigation could be
conducted.
"I can't say whether any crimes have been committed ... but we'll certainly
be looking into whether there was excessive use of force and whether the
methods used by the military were acceptable," she said. "We would call on
the U.S. military to be as cooperative as possible with our
investigation."
U.S. Marines launched an offensive against Falluja, a city of about 300,000
people 30 miles west of Baghdad, eight days ago to crack down on guerrillas
and find those responsible for killing and burning four U.S. security
guards March 31.
The fighting was some of the fiercest Iraq has seen since U.S.-led forces
launched the war that overthrew Saddam Hussein a year ago. For the past
three days, Falluja has been under a tenuous truce.
The director of Falluja's general hospital has said more than 600 Iraqis
were killed and some 1,200 were wounded in the battle. U.S. forces also
suffered a heavy toll, with at least 70 soldiers killed in the past 12
days, many in Falluja.
The U.S. military has rejected allegations that its soldiers fired
indiscriminately or used excessive force.
"I could see many bodies in the streets. Hundreds were lying in the street.
Relatives were too scared to get them," said Samir Rabee, who escaped with
relatives and eight other families in the back of a refrigeration truck.
Mufti said it would probably be another few days before investigators could
travel to the city, and then only if the U.S. offensive had not resumed.

You know, it's pretty amusing to see how whacked-out you are! You are
lacking in both substance and logic. May the force be with you..... because
that's all you have going for you.

Well apparently that is enough, because I am right, and you're on the wrong
side of history.
I have full confidence in my assessment of the current geo-political
situation and in time this will be evident to everyone. Then there will be an
Osama Bin Kenobi statue placed in Washington next to Lincoln, and Christmas
will be renamed to Kenobimas.
Daniel, you're going to be really embarrassed when you'll have to admit you
were a Bu$h supporter to your children.

I would suggest Emma that you are the one who is going to be embarrassed
when your children find out what political wacko you were in your teens &
twenties. Don't worry you will grow out of it.
