Paul Gilroy
Chair of African American studies at Yale University, Paul Gilroy, was listed by Discover the Networks after speaking at a university-sponsored teach-in on the Iraq war. Gilroy argued that:
- I think the morality of cluster bombs, of uranium-tipped bombs, (of) daisy cutters are shaped by an imperial double standard that values American lives more. adding that (The war seems motivated by) a desire to enact revenge for the attacks on the World Trade Centre and the Pentagon . . . (It's important) to speculate about the relation between this war and the geopolitical interests of Israel.[2]
