Iyad Allawi: 'A man of the Shadows' by Ghali Hassan

In recent developments, Iyad Allawi has been promoted by the British and the U.S. mainstream media as a defender of “human rights”. This new spin coincides with Blair and Bush strategy of resurrecting Allawi as “the best hope” in the December 15 illegitimate elections. Despite his well-publicised unpopularity among Iraqis, the propaganda for his elections campaign has already begun. Careful examination of this policy reveals that the U.S. and Britain are in pursuit of a rotten imperialist policy to serve their own interests at the expense of the Iraqi people.
