US army blocks aid convoy for Falluja (can you say genocide?)

http://english.aljazeera.net/NR/exeres/F0A47D67-7D17-4140-A992-2AEC1CF0624A.htm

The US military has prevented an aid convoy from reaching the besieged city of Falluja, a doctor based in Baghdad who accompanied the convoy says.

"The Iraqi ministry of health asked us to go to Falluja. When we were on our way, the US army stopped our convoy, and carried out a search," said Dr Ibrahim al-Kubaisi.

"After we waited in the US base, located near Falluja, for four hours, a doctor told us that they had agreed with the Iraqi ministry of health to send a medical team to Falluja but only after eight or nine days.

"There is a terrible crime going in Falluja and they do not want anybody to know. I transferred four injured people from the Jordanian field hospital to a hospital in Baghdad.

"They told me that there is a crime in there; chemical weapons are being used. The corpses don't have traces of gunshots but black patches.

Isn't it the duty of the police to stop crimes and arrest the perps?
where are the arresting officers?
where are the lawyers?

how will these crimes be stopped?

4. Living in a targeted city now defines a person as a "terrorist"
21st century politics seems to be all about "labels".

Loose definition of the term terrorist makes an enemy of any foreign nationalist from 8 to 80 with unquestioned backing from those loyal to Buxh and his henchmen.

The term "liberal" has the same effect at home.
