ICYMI: CONGRESSMAN LIEU CAMPAIGNS TO “STOP THE MADNESS” OF U.S. SUPPORT FOR SAUDI BOMBING IN YEMEN
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Online at The Intercept, reporter Ben Norton covers Rep. Lieu’s serious concerns over U.S. backing for the Saudi-led war in Yemen.
“Ted Lieu, a Democrat representing Los Angeles County, served in the Air Force and is a colonel in the Air Force Reserves. The brutal bombings of civilian areas with U.S.-supplied planes and weapons has led him to act when most of his colleagues have stayed silent.”
“I taught the law of war when I was on active duty. You can’t kill children, newlyweds, doctors and patients — those are exempt targets under the law of war, and the coalition has been repeatedly striking civilians. So it is very disturbing to me. It is even worse that the U.S. is aiding this coalition.”
“By assisting Saudi Arabia, the United States is aiding and abetting what appears to be war crimes in Yemen. The administration must stop enabling this madness now.”
