Was junior planning a coverup of prisoner abuse when he appointed Negroponte as ambassador to Iraq? If he was he couldn't have picked a better person. ____________________ May 4, 2004 - On April 20, I wrote in this article (http://moderateindependent.com/v2i4negro.htm ,) which ran with the headline, "The Choice Of Negroponte, Who Oversaw Our Central American Policy During the Death Squad Days, Shows Bush’s Determination To Use Brutality To Subdue…": "The need for silencing and squelching the opposition groups with brutal tactics that the public never hears about now exists in Iraq as it once did in Central America. "Negroponte’s appointment as Ambassador to Iraq is a horrible, horrible occurrence, and shows what is next in the Iraq War for America. We asked the question a long time ago, (see: www.moderateindependent.com/v1i17saddam.htm )and it is more pertinent now than ever: has Saddam been replaced with nothing more than a Saddam who happens to reside in Washington?" As is so frequently the case, once again we at The Moderate Independent nailed it right on the head before anyone else was even paying attention. A week later our John Ashton wrote in a follow-up article (http://moderateindependent.com/v2i4dodd.htm ): "(Senator Christopher J. Dodd, D-CT) knows Negroponte lied (ie the issue of "candor") last time the nation gave him its trust, oversaw illegal operations, covered up horrible, butcherous human rights abuses, and he knows President Bush is now nominating him as our Ambassador to Iraq, putting him in exactly the position to cover up horrible abuses once again (in fact, it seems the only reason President Bush would have taken Negroponte away from his UN post to put him there…)" Look at the last part of that sentence again: "…it seems the only reason President Bush would have taken Negroponte away from his UN post to put him there," for the sake of having a man with experience covering up human rights abuses. more--> moderateindependent.com
