THE REAL LOOTING OF IRAQ
THE REAL LOOTING OF IRAQ
The United States stands accused of the war crime of “pillage”
A major issue concerning America’s takeover of Iraq has gone totally unreported in relation to the real looting of Iraq. This looting was not the looting of buildings in Baghdad carried out by mobs in April 2003, which received widespread media coverage. It was the major industrial-scale looting and stealing of Iraq’s resources, raw materials and technology carried out throughout 2003 and 2004 by international corporations and other entities. It went apparently either unnoticed or unreported by the media and was at least partly carried out as an official policy of the American occupation authorities and its new Iraqi puppet regime. This international rape of Iraq’s property and resources is a vast scandal that can be added to all the other crimes America has committed against Iraq. It may also be a war crime under the Fourth Geneva Convention.
