US embassy cable - 03SANAA591

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

On Monday, March 24 DCM discussed the legal authority for use

Abdul-Salam Q. Al-Awadi.  The meeting was delayed while 
Embassy remained at "Stand Fast" mode following the onset of 
hostilities in Iraq.  Awadi thanked DCM for the "useful" 
information, and indicated his intent to share the points 
with other ROYG officials.  Awadi did not challenge or 
comment further on the legality of the use of force during 
this discussion.
