The Congressional Medal of Honor
Everyday Heroes of IRAQ
--------------------------------
The news that IRAQIS have flocked to the "Palace" of Saddam Hussein has 
been labeled in the press and U.S. propaganda machine as "human shields 
for a bully."

If the U.S.A. were threatened as IRAQ is threatened with an evil force 
that would take extreme perverse pleasure, as Koki Roberts (U.S. 
journalist) once said, in ". . .bombing them [Iraq] back to the Stone 
Age," and if Americans "flocked to the palace i.e. the White House," 
they would be cheered as everyday heroes and awarded the Congressional 
Medal of Honor for service to their country.

Integrity in Journalism
Criminal Foreign Policy
-----------------------------
For the NY Post to print total garbage like Ray Kerrison's column 
(11/16/97, p.28), in which he expounds at great length on the 
warmongering of the radical Right and the military-industrial mindset, 
is not unusual--after all in this age of tabloid journalism, the 
standard for integrity is quite low; but for the NY Times to print such 
trash ["All the news that's fit to print" has reached an all-time low 
ebb] is something else altogether.

There is, as of 1976, a Presidential Order of then-President Gerald Ford 
that makes assasination politics illegal and the criminal act that it 
truly is.  That notwithstanding, the U.S. has continued to openly and 
blatantly advocate such criminality and the Times has repeatedly printed 
the official attempts by the C.I.A. to "off" Saddam Hussein.

Assassination of foreign leaders can only be regarded as a sickness of 
the U.S.A. and Israel and this criminal mindset was in evidence when 
George Bush pushed "the envelope" in 1990-91 and the entire world was 
forced or coerced into a criminal assault on a small country that could 
not possibly defend themselves.

Congenital Liar(s) and Sore Losers
The Current Regime in Washington
-----------------------------------
One of the favorite ploys of the current regime in Washington is what is 
known in NYC as "the old streetwise turnaround."  So the attempt on the 
part of Munich-Mad Madeline to malign Saddam by calling him a congenital 
liar is not surprising.  For those who do not have access to U.S. 
internal politics that phrase was a very proper analysis of the 
character of one Hilary Rodham Clinton [who even has a "tall tale" about 
why she was named Hilary].  To "slime away" from the truth by projecting 
onto another target is to turnaround the truth of the matter.

And when Tariq Aziz attempts to diplomatically handle the "mud" by 
saying:  "Those who call others liars are liars themselves" -- 
his diplomacy is perversely reported in the NY Times headlines to the 
effect:   Aziz calls Albright a Liar

This my friends is perverse.  From the NY Post not surprising; from the 
NY Times an intolerable degradation of journalistic integrity.

"Make Peace with Saddam 
and that's an order"
 the Word of the Lord
----------------------------
Making peace is the order of the day and the business of the U.N.  Iraq 
has suffered extreme hardship since the U.S. foreign policy of "pitting 
Iraq and Iran against each other" was first put into play  -- we have 
Ronald Reagan to thank for that -- and it pre-dated the Gulf War by at 
least 8 years.

IRAQ IS NOT THE ENEMY OF THE UNITED STATES AND NEITHER IS SADDAM 
HUSSEIN. The real enemy of us all is the perverse way in which the 
press, the propaganda people, and the military-industrial complex view 
the world.
