ALL AGAINST THE SALAFI:
U.S. lawmaker urges Saudi arms sales halt, cites possible Yemen 'war crimes' (Reuters, 10/12/16)
The Houthi are our allies, not the Sa'uds.Rep. Ted Lieu, a California Democrat, wrote to Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday, saying the coalition had conducted more than 70 "unlawful airstrikes" in Yemen."It appears that either the Saudi coalition is intentionally targeting civilians or they are not distinguishing between civilians and military targets. Both would be war crimes," wrote Lieu, who had taught classes on the law of war when he was a lawyer in the U.S. Air Force.
