Doug, just what exactly is it in this article that you call "propaganda"? Here's the text of a speech by Hans von Sponeck, one of the U.N. Coordinators for Humanitarian Aid to Iraq who is mentioned in Thorne Anderson's article. He says basically the same thing as Anderson.   So does Dennis Halliday, who preceded von Sponeck.   These are not wild-eyed radicals or bleeding-heart liberals, as Anderson says--they're seasoned UN administrators, who each quit the same post: quit because they were sick to death of what the sanctions, so beloved by our government, are doing to the children and families of Iraq. And since those speeches were given, thousands more children have died of dysentery, typhoid, and other diseases that could have been easily treated if it weren't for the sanctions.

So show me where the lies are. OK? I'm waiting.

Aloha,
Mark
