Show me the URL for Human Rights Watch International's figures. As you probably already know, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright was interviewed on CBS's 60 Minutes by Leslie Stahl in 1996. Stahl: “We have heard that a half million children have died [as a result of sanctions against Iraq]. I mean, that is more children than died in Hiroshima. And you know, is the price worth it?” Albright: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price, we think the price is worth it.” [[Interview question by reporter Leslie Stahl, response by US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, on CBS 60 Minutes, May 12, 1996. At the time, Albright was the US Ambassador to the UN.]] More: “We are destroying an entire society. It is as simple and terrifying as that.” —Denis Halliday, former Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations and humanitarian aid coordinator in Iraq, who resigned in protest over UN policy on Iraq. Source: 64.224.160.128 Estimates of the cost in lives of U.S. sanctions against Iraq range from 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 innocents murdered for the sake of the greedy, profligate, mindless and dissipated lifestyles of Americans.
