Approved: map@pencil.cs.missouri.edu Lines: 167 From former Attorney-General of the United States Ramsey Clark: * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * (continuation) Napalm was used against civilians, military personnel and to start fires. Oil well fires in both Iraq and Kuwait were intentionally started by U.S. aircraft dropping napalm and other heat intensive devices. Cluster and anti-personnel fragmentation bombs were used in Basra and other cities, and towns, against the convoys described above and against military units. The CBU-75 carries 1800 bomblets called Sadeyes. One type of Sadeyes can explode before hitting the ground, on impact, or be timed to explode at different times after impact. Each bomblet contains 600 razor sharp steel fragments lethal up to 40 feet. The 1800 bomblets from one CBU 75 can cover an area equal to 157 football fields with deadly shrapnel. "Superbombs" were dropped on hardened shelters, at least two in the last days of the assault, with the intention of assassinating President Saddam Hussein. One was misdirected. The U.S. attempted to assassinate Col. Muammar Qaddafy by laser directed bombs in its attack on Tripoli, Libya in April 1986. Illegal weapons killed thousands of civilians and soldiers. The conduct violated the Hague and Geneva Conventions, the Nuremberg Charter and the laws of armed conflict. 8. The United States intentionally attacked installations in Iraq containing dangerous substances and forces. __________________________________________ Despite the fact that Iraq used no nuclear or chemical weapons and in the face of U.N. resolutions limiting the authorized means of removing Iraqi forces from Kuwait, the U.S. intentionally bombed alleged nuclear sites, chemical plants, dams and other dangerous forces. The U.S. knew such attacks could cause the release of dangerous forces from such installations and consequent severe losses among the civilian population. While some civilians were killed in such attacks, there are no reported cases of consequent severe losses presumably because lethal nuclear materials, and dangerous chemical and biological warfare substances were not present at the sites bombed. The conduct violates Protocol I Additional, Article 56, to the Geneva Convention, 1977. 9. President Bush ordered U.S. forces to invade Panama resulting in the deaths of 1000 to 4000 Panamanians and the destruction of thousands of private dwellings, public buildings and commercial structures. _________________________________________________ On December 20, 1989 President Bush ordered a military assault on Panama using aircraft, artillery, helicopter gunships and experimenting with new weapons, including the Stealth bomber. The attack was a surprise assault targeting civilian and non- combatant government structures. In the El Chorillo district of Panama City alone, hundreds of civilians were killed and between 15,000 and 30,000 made homeless. U.S. soldiers buried dead Panamanian in mass graves, often without identification. The head of state, Manuel Noriega, who was systematically demonized by the U.S. government and press ultimately surrendered to U.S. forces and was brought to Miami, Florida on extra territorial U.S. criminal charges. The U.S. invasion of Panama violated all the international laws Iraq violated when it invaded Kuwait and more. Many more Panamanians were killed by U.S. forces than Iraq killed Kuwaitis. President Bush violated the Charter of the United Nations, the Hague and Geneva Conventions, committed crimes against peace, war crimes and violated the U.S. Constitution and numerous U.S. Criminal statutes in ordering and directing the assault on Panama. 10. President Bush obstructed justice and corrupted United Nations functions as a means of securing power to commit crimes against peace and war crimes. ___________________________________________________ President Bush caused the United Nations to completely bypass Chapter VI provisions of its Charter for the Pacific Settlement of Disputes. This was done in order to obtain Security Council resolutions authorizing the use of all necessary means, in the absolute discretion of any nation, to fulfill U.N. resolutions directed against Iraq and which were used to destroy Iraq. To obtain Security Council votes, the U.S. corruptly paid member nations billions of dollars, provided them arms to conduct regional wars, forgave billions in debts, withdrew opposition to a World Bank loan, agreed to diplomatic relations despite human rights violations and threatened economic and political reprisals. A nation which voted against the United States, Yemen, was immediately punished by the loss of millions of dollars in aid. The U.S. paid the U.N. 187 million dollars to reduce the amount of dues it owed to the U.N. to avoid criticism of its coercive activities. The United Nations, created to end the scourge of war, became an instrument of war and condoned war crimes. The conduct violates the Charter of the United Nations and the Constitution and laws of the United States. 11. President Bush usurped the Constitutional power of Congress as a means of securing powerto commit crimes against peace, war crimes,and other high crimes. President Bush intentionally usurped Congressional power, ignored its authority, and failed and refused to consult with the Congress. He deliberately misled, deceived, concealed and made false representations to the Congress to prevent its free deliberation and informed exercise of legislature power. President Bush individually ordered a naval blockade against Iraq, itself an act of war. He switched U.S. forces from a wholly defensive position and capability to an offensive capacity for aggression against Iraq without consultation with and contrary to assurances given to the Congress. He secured legislation approving enforcement of U.N. resolutions vesting absolute discretion in any nation, providing no guidelines and requiring no reporting to the U.N., knowing he intended to destroy the armed forces and civilian economy of Iraq. Those acts were undertaken to enable him to commit crimes against peace and war crimes. The conduct violates the Constitution and laws of the United States, all committed to engage in the other impeachable offenses set forth in this Complaint.

So, please post the episodes of this ongoing series to computer bulletin boards, and post hardcopies in public places, both on and off campus. The need for concerned people, alerting their neighbors to overshadowing dangers, still exists, as it did in the era of Paul Revere. That need is as enduring as society itself.
