  In reference to Iraq's alleged weapons of mass destruction, British prime minister Tony Blair today told a committee of senior MPs that he has " urlLink to accept we haven't found them and we may never find them ".
Now there's a huge surprise. I mean, why on earth should we believe the findings made by the Unmovic [UN Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission], headed by the respected Swedish diplomat urlLink Hans Blix ? Mister Blair's sole consolation regarding the WMD, is that "They could have been removed. They could have been hidden.
They could have been destroyed. " I'm afraid chances are they already were, prior to the British-American invasion, if ever in existence. And what of the Iraqi children, urlLink allegedly abused at Abu Grahib and in Umm Qassr? According to the TV programme "Report Mainz" on German TV station ARD and urlLink Der Spiegel [ urlLink translated into English ], as many as 100 children, all the way down to the age of 12, have been subject to abusive treatment in American controlled detention facilities.
I'm a little reluctant to accept these allegations as true, based on the German documentary alone, but they're ostensibly supported by both the International Red Cross and UNICEF. If there's any truth to this at all, mister Blair's and mister Bush' resignations are welcomed, pending trials quite similar to the one mister Slobodan Milosevic is currently subjected to. Sorry, guys, but there's no getting away from that. Late addition: urlLink Norway protests child abuse in Iraq [Aftenposten.no 6 July 2004]
