Treasures From The KBOO Archives: Ramsey Clark & The First Gulf War: Bush's War Crimes
Treasures from the KBOO Public Affairs Archive - Ramsey Clark
In 1991, President George H. W. Bush sent American troops into Iraq and Kuwait. The war lasted only a few weeks, but the death and devastation to Iraq was widespread. Former U.S. attorney General Ramsey Clark and others believed many of the U.S. actions were war crimes. In this program we hear Clark describing what he saw in Iraq, the legal basis for his claim that international law had been broken, and his plan to establish a commission of inquiry.
