Normalising the Crime of the Century

John Pilger:

The invasion is the crime of the 21st century. During 17 years of assault on a defenseless civilian population, veiled with weasel monikers like “sanctions” and “no-fly zones” and “building democracy,” more people have died in Iraq than during the peak years of the slave trade.

…

The purpose of the Chilcot inquiry is to normalize an epic crime by providing enough of a theater of guilt to satisfy the media so that the only issue that matters, that of prosecution, is never raised.

Pilger, great as always. Crimes, epic as always.
