US War Crimes?
It seems that when it comes to current events that you have to be reading between the lines if you want to get the real story. Usually, even when you’re trying to get the real story, you have to sift through an amazing amount of clutter and the real story simply does not pop out at you. Years later you may look back and say, “Aha! I remember all that! So that’s how it all relates!”. Of course, there’s always the danger that someone is doing some rewriting of history and you’ll be caught up in it. If you don’t have a very good memory, you won’t be able to quickly pick out the holes in their arguments. Tonight, when I found this site (link follows), I began to hope that someone would be able to do just that, its just too frightening to think that this is all true.

You may or may not have a very high opinion of Ramsey Clark depending upon whether you’re a leftist or a right-winger, but I’m pretty sure a quick read of the above will let you quickly decide which side of the fence you’re on. You may decide to visit this site in the former case.

Interesting. There are a bunch of these groups that bring charges of wc on the US. Government.
On the side of the “conspiracy theory” as to what all of this war stuff is about to begin with, this site has great stuff. It’s the real genesis of our war mongering neo-con administration. Oddly, their website seems to have vanished.

Another good article about the real motives behind the Iraq venture from
the San Diego Union Tribune from April. I don’t how I missed this one, but
it mentions Wolfowitz and the PNAC connection also. Just like Hitler’s “Mein
Kampf”, these guys were not shy about their plans and now that they have
been in power for 4 years, and convinced the president that they were right,
we see how folly the idea was. uniontrib/20040401/news_lz1e1golds.html" class="external">Read about it.
