Lies, damned lies, and news Posted: Tuesday, August 19, 2003 The Truth About Intelligence In Iraq: "Bring It On" At Least 18 Killed and Scores Wounded in Attack Baghdad Blast US admits cameraman was shot dead at close range Govt. Excuses Wearing Very Thin! Inefficiency, Mistaken Identities And Cameras But when a US military tank crew guns down a Reuters photo-journalist who is filming a US-run prison in Iraq, because they thought his camera was an RPG (rocket propelled grenade launcher) then I am not buying any stories of mistaken identity, mistaking a camera for an RPG, or any other excuse. The photo-journalist was filming something that the US didn't wan't filmed and the military murdered him in cold blood Media Casualties Cameraman feared being shot by US soldiers US troops 'crazy' in killing of cameraman American voters have two choices: Bush or Bush-lite Iraq becomes a battleground in war on infidels Idiot or Liar? Either Way, Bush Is Unfit for Office No 10 knew: Iraq no threat Bush's lie tactics to make case for Iraq war are Orwellian Bogus Blair, Bogus Bush For the most part, American media is doing a lousy job of following the British investigation of how Blair and his aides spun the case for war with Iraq. From a journalistic standard, that's bizarre because the story of official deceit in Britain is also the story of official deceit in the United States. While the lights are on, America shuts its eyes Lies, damned lies, and news For instance, last week's much-publicized story about the FBI's break up of a terrorist plot to buy shoulder-fired surface-to-air missiles. I'm sure 95 percent of the American public cheered at the news, thinking, "Hey, the bad guys lost another one." But consider the facts. No terrorists were arrested, and no weapons were seized.
