At 3 a.m. on the 4th of July, U.S. military forces and Iraqi national guards opened fire with a barrage of bullets and grenades on the Baghdad home of Abdel-Hussein Saddam. The severely wounded Abdel-Hussein was taken away and his 18-year-old daughter was left alone, injured and bleeding on the floor. Abdel-Hussein’s beaten body turned up at the Yarmouk Hospital morgue on July 6.


The murder of Abdel-Hussein was the most devastating of four attacks by the U.S. military on the Iraq Freedom Congress in the past 10 months. The IFC is an organization comprised primarily of trade unionists, community leaders, and women’s and children’s rights workers who are determined to look after their own. IFC’s goals are to salvage the lives of as many Iraqis as possible, and to end the occupation and sectarian fighting. Its slogan: "No Shiite… No Sunni… Ours is Human Identity.”

The IFC has 22 offices or “wards” in Iraq cities and neighborhoods. It establishes where and when it is invited by local community leaders. Since 2005 the IFC has been working toward a progressive democratic non-sectarian government in Iraq. It is as critical of the violent political Islamic forces as of the violent U.S. occupiers.

1. Don't you get it? Peace and harmony are bad things

Without unrest, our argument for being there goes away. And if we leave now, we might not get the oil. We can't let those Iraqi peace workers spoil that, now can we?

2. The money piles are going to diminish and warmongers will fade and die.

3. I'll continue to say Chalabi is behind these fearsome murders of potential rivals for eventual

control of Iraq and it's oil. Where is that 700 man army he landed with, in Kabul....then got trucked by the U.S. to that square in Baghdad to tear down that statue? The big burly guy pounding on the statue was right beside him at the airport landing in Kabul. Watch Chalabi....I say he's the real enemy pitting Sunni against Shiite.
