Kucinich Statement on US NATO Killing Gadaffi's Son & Grandkids

NOTE: DemocracyNow! [DN!] finally had 2 people on, during the past 5days, who were clear about the illegality & hypocrisy of the on-going US, UK, French & NATO attack on Libya- one was a UK Jounalist Johann Hari on last Fri April 29th show [before the 'smart' bomb attack that killed Khadaffi's son & 3 grand-children] - who was primarily on to critique all the absurd hype of the British Royal Wedding. - On Tues May 3 at the end of the show for the last 5 minutes DN! had on a relatively unknown fellow who- although was clear & un-equivocal- was yet rather dispassionate about the illegality & immorality of the US, UK, French & NATO obvious attempt to assassinate Khadaffi- leading to the murder of his son & 3 grand-children.
Now for OH Rep Dennis Kucinich who- although having frequently been a featured DemocracyNow! guest in the past- hasn't been on as of yet - nor was his statement that follows read or even referred to by DN! [nor MSNM News nor most other so-called progressive alternative news outlets for that matter]... [@ http://kucinich.house.gov/News/DocumentPrint.aspx?DocumentID=238799 ]Obama Doctrine Allows for Regime Change by Assassination
NATO attack in Civilian Neighborhood Undermines U.N. Mandate
Washington, Apr 30 - Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH), who has repeatedly challenged the Obama Administration’s policy on Libya, today made the following statement after a Libyan spokesman announced that a NATO missile attack on a residence in Tripoli killed Saif al-Arab, the youngest son of Colonel Gaddafi, and three of Gaddafi’s grandchildren. According to the spokesman, Gaddafi and his wife were in the home, but survived the attack. Saif al-Arab was reported to be a 29 year-old student and a civilian.
“NATO's leaders have blood on their hands. NATO's airstrike seems to have been intended to carry out an illegal policy of assassination. This is a deep stain which can never fully wash. This grave matter cannot be addressed with empty words. Words will not bring back dead children. Actions must be taken to stop more innocents from getting slaughtered.
“Today’s attack underscores that the Obama Doctrine of so-called humanitarian intervention appears to be a cover for regime change through assassination and murder,” said Kucinich [PS: Statements by Putin & Chavez were equally as strong -but- you don't necessarily expect the US Press to cover them - But a well known US congressman...].
And Consider the Timing: This assassination attempt apparently was the US / UK / French / NATO official response to: 1: Yet another cease-fire offer / appeal by Khadaffi made just hours before this attack... 2: A demand by a tramatic trio of Repug Neo-Con US Sins- Graham, Lieberman & [Bomb bomb bomb] McCain - 'To Cut the head off the snake & start bombing Khadaffi directly' just days prior to this attack [shows who O-Bomb-em really listens to].
