Powerful Tea Party Group's Internal Docs Leak—Read Them Here
This story has been updated. Click here for the latest. FreedomWorks, the national conservative group that helped launch the tea party movement, sells itself as a genuine grassroots operation, and for years it has battled accusations of "astroturfing" —posing as a populist organization while doing the bidding of big-money donors.

Devised and policed by the United States and Britain, the extreme suffering caused by these "sanctions" included, according to Unicef, the deaths of half a million Iraqi infants under the age of five. Ten years later, in New York, I met the senior British official responsible for the imposition of sanctions. He is Carne Ross, once known in the UN as "Mr. Iraq." I read to him a statement he made to a parliamentary select committee in 2007:
