The sanctions exist not for the purpose of hurting the Iraqi people, but for the purpose of keeping in check Saddam Hussein's ambitions toward developing weapons of mass destruction... And frankly they have worked. He has not developed any significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction. He is unable to project conventional power against his neighbors.
-- U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell
Transcript of Briefing by Secretary of State Colin Powell, Egyptian Foreign Minister Amre Moussa
at Ittihadiya Palace,
U.S. Embassy to Israel, Tel Aviv, February 24th, 2001

| Fact |
On September 7th, President Bush asked Congress for an additional $87 billion for the war in Iraq, acknowledging that the engagement in Iraq is going to cost many hundreds of billions of dollars. $87billion is Rougly The Total Of Two Years Worth Of All U.S. Unemployment Benefits.
The U.S. spends about $50 billion a year on unemployment insurance. At least 1.1 million people have exhausted all of their unemployment benefits without finding a job, and yet Congress has refused to extend benefits.

IPT Report on Civilian Casualties (with photos)
"If we begin soon, the peacemaking community could recruit, prepare, and
train thousands of nonviolent activists from throughout the world to go to
the next target for a U.S. war. This effort could help strengthen the global
peace-and-justice movement and, perhaps, actually help stop the next war.
Prospects for success would be enhanced if we could elicit the participation
of prominent individuals who would add authority to the project and help
mobilize thousands of people willing to stand in harm's way."

Wade calls to let us know that all IPT members in Baghdad are fine and
are planning to stay in Baghdad indefinately. The US military is now
guarding the Palestine Hotel and the Al Fanar hotel (where all IPT
members are staying.) Otherwise the US forces seem to be making no
effort to stop or stem the widespread looting and violence. Even
hospitals are being looted. The IPT delegates have been interacting
with US military in front of their hotel and these interactions have
been very friendly, "extraordinary" as Wade put it. Wade and several
other IPT delegates will be sending diary/journal entries soon
regarding these interactions.
April 10, 7:15am PDT
We receive a message from Wade letting us know that all IPT delgates are doing fine and that he'll be in Baghdad for at least the next few days.
April 9, Noon PDT
The Chicago IPT Office receives a satellite phone call from Kathy Kelly in
Baghdad. Kathy says that all 13 IPT delegates in Baghdad are still doing fine.
