Quote

The sanctions exist not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein's ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction... And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors.
-- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell Transcript of Briefing by Secretary of State Colin Powell, Egyptian Foreign Minister Amre Moussa at Ittihadiya Palace, U.S. Embassy to Israel, Tel Aviv, February 24th, 2001

Fact

On September 7th, President Bush asked Congress for an additional $87 billion for the war in Iraq, acknowledging that the engagement in Iraq is going to cost many hundreds of billions of dollars. $87billion is Rougly The Total Of Two Years Worth Of All U.S. Unemployment Benefits. The U.S. spends about $50 billion a year on unemployment insurance. At least 1.1 million people have exhausted all of their unemployment benefits without finding a job, and yet Congress has refused to extend benefits.
-- Center on Budget and Policy Priorities - What Can $87 Billion Buy?, TomPaine.commonSense/Center for American Progress, September, 11, 2003

IPT Report on Civilian Casualties (with photos)

"If we begin soon, the peacemaking community could recruit, prepare, and train thousands of nonviolent activists from throughout the world to go to the next target for a U.S. war. This effort could help strengthen the global peace-and-justice movement and, perhaps, actually help stop the next war. Prospects for success would be enhanced if we could elicit the participation of prominent individuals who would add authority to the project and help mobilize thousands of people willing to stand in harm's way."

Wade calls to let us know that all IPT members in Baghdad are fine and are planning to stay in Baghdad indefinately. The US military is now guarding the Palestine Hotel and the Al Fanar hotel (where all IPT members are staying.) Otherwise the US forces seem to be making no effort to stop or stem the widespread looting and violence. Even hospitals are being looted. The IPT delegates have been interacting with US military in front of their hotel and these interactions have been very friendly, "extraordinary" as Wade put it. Wade and several other IPT delegates will be sending diary/journal entries soon regarding these interactions.

April 10, 7:15am PDT
We receive a message from Wade letting us know that all IPT delgates are doing fine and that he'll be in Baghdad for at least the next few days.

April 9, Noon PDT
The Chicago IPT Office receives a satellite phone call from Kathy Kelly in Baghdad. Kathy says that all 13 IPT delegates in Baghdad are still doing fine.
