[news] Letter to George Bush from an Iraqi

[Resist!ca]

Below is a letter written by an Iraqi living in "liberated" Iraq to U.S. President George Bush. Ghazwan Al-Mukhtar is a 60 year-old engineer, a 1967 graduate of Marquette University, living in Baghdad, who had criticized Saddam Hussein in his time as a "ruthless dictator" and has no intention of holding his tongue now. He has previously been interviewed from Baghdad by Amy Goodman's Democracy Now! and wrote "I am (an) independent person and never joined any political party and I will never join a party." And when asked about whether he wanted his name used or withheld, he added: "If, after everything we have gone through over the last 22 months makes me scared, then I have news for them, NOW NO ONE CAN STOP ME FROM TALKING. I AM FREE." His letter to George Bush from outside the American bubble follows.
