Assassinating Amin considered - UK
Former British foreign secretary David Owen said on Saturday that in the 1970s he raised the idea of having Ugandan dictator Idi Amin assassinated.

Owen, Britain's foreign secretary from 1977 to 1979 under a Labour government, told BBC radio: "I actually at one stage did raise the issue of assassination and it was not just frowned on but looked on as an outrageous suggestion.

"I'm not ashamed of considering it," Owen added, because Amin's regime was "one of the worst of all".

I don't believe a word of this. If any of you have traveled overseas to less developed nations, you could see anything can be accomplished with money including hiring for murder. (TODAY). Back in the 70's with Gov. absolute power and if an official Western Gov. was paying you and supporting you, you could easily pay off someone in the circle to assassinate the leader without anyone in the world knowing who was behind it.

They same for today with Iraq and Saddam. If Chimpy didn't want our troops to go into Iraq and take over the oil he could have put a billion dollar reward on Saddam and his sons. It would have worked.

Leaders are more than likely used for the West's purposes; arms trade, justifying to manufacture arms, testing arms, drug trade, business trade, secret bases, test new pharmaceutical drugs, Jones Town mind contrl experiments...
