US embassy cable - 03HARARE671

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.

  1.   Under headline "Maiming and killing of innocent 
      Iraqis disturbing" the government-controlled daily 
      "The Herald" (04/03) carried an op-ed by Synos 
      GodKnows Zhou (sic).  Excerpts: 
 
  2.   ". . .Saddam might be evil and all that, but for 
      anybody to go into Iraq and release heavy volleys of 
      missiles into buildings and into streets - hoping that 
      Saddam will be caught in the crossfire - is repugnant 
      madness and recklessness of the highest order. . .
