Lucky You: Libya
The following is a brief list of what the US/NATO can do for your country, if your country
is Libya:
1. NATO’s bombing campaign has killed 718 civilians as of June 7th, 2011
2. NATO’s bombing campaign has wounded 4,067 civilians, 433 of these are seriously wounded
individuals.
3. “Libya’s rebels,” who are presently being supported by the US/NATO campaign “have
arbitrarily detained dozens of civilians suspected of supporting ruler Moammar Gadhafi and
at least one has died after apparently being tortured while in custody.”
*Stats taken from Reuter’s article “Libya says NATO bombing kills 718 civilians,” & “HRW
says Libya rebels detain pro-Gadhafi civilians” by the Associated Press.
