Abandon the Battlefield!


Abandon the Battlefield!
By Michel Chossudovsky
Jun 28, 2004, 14:57


Colonial Administration

The "ambassador" who oversees "an embassy staff" of 1700 people, will report back to the Pentagon rather than to the State Department.

The hidden agenda is to replicate in Iraq, the Central American death squadrons. Negroponte has been given the mandate to recruit loyal collaborators from within the ranks of the former Baathist regime of Saddam Hussein. Under this scenario, part of the repressive apparatus including the torture chambers (of course under US supervision to ensure "good governance") could be handed back to officials of the former Baathist police and intelligence apparatus. In all likelihood, a new wave of covert civilian killings and targeted assassinations is envisaged, to weed out civilian support for the insurgency.

1. Yeah, Well,
I think the other side's death squads are a few steps ahead. We'll see who wins the race.

2. Yeah, I don't think joining Negroponte's deaths squads would be
a good career move. I wouldn't bet on his chances either.
