		Glaspie, six months after the transcript was published, called the transcript a fabrication - yet at the same time she said it contained a great deal that was true.
		So, while Glaspie's private statements on behalf of the administration may have given Saddam Hussein the mistaken belief that he could invade Kuwait with impunity, they were completely consistent with what others in the administration were saying publicly.
		Glaspie was forced out of her U.N. position when Madeleine Albright took over as U.S. ambassador to the United Nations.

		I am interested to know if April Glaspie is in politics at the present time and what she is doing now after having "taken the heat" for the misleading and contradictory actions of the U.S. There is no ulterior motive to my question.

		Since she is one of the guests, the subject of US Ambassador to Iraq April Glaspie's July 25 conversation with Saddam Hussain arises.
		Glaspie, however, remembers the talk vividly, since it was called on short notice and Saddam Hussain did not see ambassadors, except when they accompanied visiting dignitaries.
		Glaspie has heard enough speculation that, deliberately or inadvertently, her comments led Saddam Hussain to believe the US would not oppose his subsequent invasion of Kuwait.

		Diplomatic cables released by Iraq appear to show that Glaspie, a respected Arabist who had sought to implement Bush administration policy to broaden cultural and commercial contacts with the Iraqi regime in hopes of "civilizing" it, did not raise strong objections to the impending possibility of the invasion.
		When Glaspie's actions become a cause clbre in Washington, she remains incommunicado, despite the press clamoring for her explanation-and growing belief that, by her silence, she is allowing herself to be made a scapegoat for an accommodationist policy likely to be viewed harshly in retrospect.

		A member of the Committee chose to attack Ambassador Glaspie publicly, using at least one of the documents as the basis for his attack.
