Description
On the eve of Operation Iraqi Freedom, I was asked by Dr. Laurie Mylroie to write a 5,000-word legal defense of the campaign to remove Saddam Hussein from power by force to appear in a new book she was writing. (1) It took me 15,000 words to even summarize what I saw as the most compelling legal arguments--without in the process even mentioning the intelligence reports (of which I was aware) that Iraq had sought to purchase uranium from Niger that have become so central to the campaign to characterize President Bush as a "liar." (2) While the chapter was being prepared I was invited to give lectures to legal conferences in Hawaii and Germany on the same issue sponsored by U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) and European Command (EUCOM) and attended by international lawyers from many nations, invitations that provided further opportunities to examine these issues.
