A senior United Nations official has accused US-led coalition troops of depriving Iraqi civilians of food and water in breach of humanitarian law.
--------------

Human rights investigator Jean Ziegler said they had driven people out of insurgent strongholds that were about to be attacked by cutting supplies.

Mr Ziegler, a Swiss-born sociologist, said such tactics were in breach of international law.

"A drama is taking place in total silence in Iraq, where the coalition's occupying forces are using hunger and deprivation of water as a weapon of war against the civilian population," Mr Ziegler told a press conference in Geneva.

He said coalition forces were using "starvation of civilians as a method of warfare."

we all know this is going on.

how can we support our troops when they tortue, starve, withhold clean water and outright murder Iraqis?

when they get caught trying to set off a car bomb?

when they call Iraqis racist names?

how can we support them?

how can we live with them when they come home?

I can't.

It doesn't take much talent

that has won the hearts and minds of
America's "Greatest Generation".
