US war on Iraq victims

Since Brown allowed Colin Powell off the hook after his presentation at the UN, and then proceeded to support the war and occupation, I am curious if he feels any obligation to help the Iraqi people. Tens of millions of lives have been negatively impacted, and I place a lot of blame on the US corporate media.

And, in his new position, is he going to cover the effects of this occupation on the Iraqi people and the Iraqi refugees, or is he going to ignore them like he did on CNN?

Also - when you were interviewed by Amy Goodman in 2003 after the invasion, you responded to her questions about coving the anti-war protests (that were still ongoing):

"It's not the relevant question.... it's over, it's on, it's being done"

I was wondering if you changed your position on that, or if you still feel that Americans should refrain from protesting their government's actions in this regard.

I was also wondering if you ever realized how anti-US Constitution that position that you took in 2003 actually is.
