PRESS BLACKOUT ON IRAQI UNION LEADER'S MURDER

"Iraqi trade union leader Hadi Salih, International Secretary of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions, was tortured and killed in his home in Baghdad Tuesday night."

This crime is being placed on remnants of Saddam Hussein's secret police but, I have no doubt in my mind that there is a Bush Crime Family link here. The aggression against organized labor and workers by this regime only heightens my suspicions. I cannot provide proof of this link but, I will, until the day I die, always attribute this murder to the selected thugs currently squatting in the White House and Pentagon.
Earlier this year, the Bush Crime Family was behind the insertion of an amendment to the Iraqi Constitution outlawing trade unions in Iraq. For information on this go here and I will not post the specific article, so that, whoever is interested can sort through the numerous and informative articles of what agenda the Bush Crime Family is pushing to keep working people from organizing including, numerous acts of torture and murder. One could assume it is the fascist thing to do.


PRESS BLACKOUT ON IRAQI TRADE UNION LEADER'S MURDER
By Doug Ireland, ILCA Associate Member

Iraqi trade union leader Hadi Salih, International Secretary of the Iraqi Federation of Trade Unions, was tortured and killed in his home in Baghdad Tuesday night--but a Nexis search reveals not a word has yet appeared in the U.S. Press.
"According to a report today from the IFTU, Salih was severely tortured before being put to death. Evidence of torture was visible on his head and body. His hands and legs had been tied. He was blindfolded, then strangled with electrical wire. Iraqi trade union sources believe that the atrocity was carried out by remnants of Saddam Hussein’s secret police, the Mukharabat," said the International Confederation of Free Trade Unions in a statement.

On a visit to Europe last year, Salih "outlined the problems facing Iraqi trade unionists including lack of funds, the continued implementation of anti-union laws brought in by the Ba’athist dictatorship and attacks from US forces on IFTU offices."
