British charity bullied by US on Iraq

[directfiesta]

Internal emails reveal how Save the Children UK came under enormous pressure after it accused coalition forces of breaching the Geneva convention by blocking humanitarian aid.

Senior figures at Save the Children US, based in Westport, Connecticut, demanded the withdrawal of the criticism and an effective veto on any future statements blaming the invasion for the plight of Iraqi civilians suffering malnourishment and shortages of medical supplies.

Freedom never looked so good....

The one of expressing your opinions seems to be vanished in the US... and trying to impose the " you are with us ..." bs to other countries.

Too bad.

Misleading topic title. A business decision that makes sense and had little if anything to do with expressing an opinion and even less to do with "you are with us...".
