The Secret Behind the Sanctions:

How the U.S. Intentionally Destroyed Iraq's Water


"Over the last two years, I've discovered documents of
the Defense Intelligence Agency proving beyond a doubt
that, contrary to the Geneva Convention, the U.S.
government intentionally used sanctions against Iraq to
degrade the country's water supply after the Gulf War.
The United States knew the cost that civilian Iraqis,
mostly children, would pay, and it went ahead anyway."
