Former Iraqi puppet council member Muhammad Bahr Al-`Ulum (an enthusiastic supporter of US war) gave a very revealing interview to the Iraqi magazine Al-Bi'ah (according to a story in yesterday's Al-Quds Al-`Arabi). In it, he accused the American occupiers of "organized theft" of Iraqi treasures and riches. He accused Paul Bremer of stealnig more than $ 250 billion of Iraqi funds. He also said that Bremer left Iraq without a treasury and that he exercised tyranny and dictatorship over the (puppet) governing council, and that it was worse than Saddam. "If he could prevent us from drinking water, he would have done that," he added. Happy occupation to all of you.
