Hey, Andrew, does Liberal Democrat mean something different in England? If not, even the Lib Dems – and a Baroness at that! – are coming around.
(Letter to the Editor, The Times)
From Baroness Nicholson of Winterbourne, Liberal Democrat MEP for South East Region
Sir, While we await the Prime Minister�s dossier on Iraq, the debate continues to centre on the threat posed by Saddam to the region and the West.
Last week, the AMAR (Arab Marshland) Foundation published a study on the Iraqi marshlands. The book provides irrefutable evidence of the systematic campaign of genocide being perpetrated against the Marsh Arab people. Many thousands have been killed, over 200,000 have fled the country, and all but 15 per cent of the marshlands have been drained.
The case for action should not only be based on what Saddam might do to us, but what he is currently doing to his own people.
Yours sincerely,
EMMA NICHOLSON
(European Parliament Rapporteur on Iraq; Group of the European Liberal, Democrat and Reform Party),
European Parliament,
Rue Wiertz, B-1047 Brussels.

Read the other letter here. Both are doozies and unequivocal in their feeling that an invasion and removal of Hussein would be a GOOD thing. Thanks, you guys.
