THE WEEK, Page 24WORLDEt Cetera
DOCUMENTED SLAUGHTER
A Senate staff report last week charged that Iraq's secret
police systematically killed 200,000 to 300,000 Kurds and
destroyed their cities, villages and agriculture in the late
1980s, while the U.S. was giving considerable aid to Iraq. The
findings are backed by 27 tons of Iraqi documents seized by
Kurdish groups during last year's uprising. Evidence of this
genocide was available to the U.S. government by 1988, asserts
Peter Galbraith, who wrote last week's report, "but it continued
to support Saddam Hussein."
