[news] Whose Human Rights is the Occupation Defending

[Resist!ca]

Whose Human Rights is the Occupation Defending by David Bacon (T)he accusations 
made by the US against the regime of Saddam Hussein focus on his violation of 
the human rights of individuals - the assassination of the regime's enemies, 
and the prohibition on political activity by individuals who dissented from its 
policies. Most popular organizations in Iraq, whether on the left or the right, 
religious or secular, make the same accusations. But they don't confine the 
discussion of human rights within those limits. For them, the occupation and 
the social conditions it imposes are human rights abuses as well.
