An open letter to Tony Benn – Let Tariq Aziz rot in hell!

Editor’s Note: We would like to bring the attention of readers to an Open Letter we have been sent by the Alliance for Workers Liberty, a British socialist organisation.

Editors: You have put your name (‘Tony Benn, former British cabinet member’) to a petition on behalf of Saddam Hussein’s deputy Tariq Aziz. You have by now probably seen the newspaper reports that Tariq Aziz will give evidence against his old boss at Saddam Hussein’s trial – evidence that, among other things, Saddam Hussein gave orders for mass murder.
