The Illegal War on Libyaedited by Cynthia McKinney

Sam Carrington | 03.06.2012 16:52 | Analysis | Anti-racism | Social Struggles | Liverpool | Oxford

Cynthia McKinney is a former Green Party Candidate for President of the
United States, and a former Congresswoman, elected to the U.S. House of
Representatives from the newly created 11th District, a 64% black district
spanning from Atlanta to Savannah. She was the first African American
woman to represent Georgia in the U.S. Congress.
McKinney frequently challenged U.S. foreign policy arguing against the U.S.
/NATO 1999 bombing campaign in Kosovo, opposed U.S. sanctions against
Iraq, and questioned much of Washington’s Middle East policy. She
supported anti-war legislation and introduced articles of impeachment
against President Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney and Secretary of State
Condoleeza Rice.

This volume offers both analysis and eyewitness accounts of
the NATO assault on a helpless civilian population it had a UN
mandate to protect, and the massive propaganda campaign
that made it possible.

It responds to the many questions left unanswered by a
complicit mainstream media, such as: Why Libya, not Bahrain,
Yemen or Egypt? What was life in Libya like under Gadhafi?
What is the truth about the so-called “Black Mercenaries”?
What about Africom’s Plans for Africa?

Cynthia McKinney and other contributors to this volume
were in Libya during the period of the NATO assault on
Libyan cities, among the few independent voices to report
on the tragedy.
