Thank you for this post, Pokey78.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ann Clwyd was in the shower when the news started coming in from Iraq....
She got an excited telephone call from a friend in Iraqi Kurdistan saying, 'Have you heard, have you heard? Saddam has been found'. For Tony Blair's human rights envoy to Iraq and the woman who brought the House of Commons to hushed silence earlier this year when she implored fellow MPs to back the war against Saddam on humanitarian grounds, it was a moment of quiet joy.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was a wonderful and powerful ally from the beginning.
Rummy thanked her in person, in England.
