My fellow (North) Americans,
When the FUCK are you going to wake up and realise that you are being manipulated by government propaganda through the media in order to support a war that should have NEVER happened?
From http://www.imdb.com/news/sb/2007-04-25/
Reports About Soldiers' Heroism Were Propaganda, Panel Told
Jessica Lynch, who was depicted in the press and on a U.S. TV docudrama as a female Rambo during the early days of the Iraq war, told a Congressional hearing Tuesday that much of what was reported about her never occurred. She did not, however, fault the news media for the fabrication but suggested instead that the U.S. Army had contrived the account to promote its mission in Iraq. "The bottom line is the American people are capable of determining their own ideals of heroes and they don't need to be told elaborate tales," she told the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Likewise, the brother of former NFL star Pat Tillman, who was killed by friendly fire in Afghanistan, also accused the Army of covering up the fact that his brother had been killed by friendly fire and had created an elaborate scenario depicting him as a hero who died in the face of a fierce enemy attack. Kevin Tillman, who was himself riding in a convoy behind his brother at the time of the incident, told the panel that he believes the Army used his brother to counter bad publicity about Abu Ghraib that was released at about the same time. "It shifted the focus from the grotesque torture at Abu Ghraib and a downward spiral of an illegal act of aggression to a great American who died a hero's death." Tillman, too, did not criticize the news media for its failure to question the military's account. The testimony of Lynch and Tillman came as PBS prepared to broadcast what some critics have called a "devastating" Bill Moyers Journal tonight (Wednesday) charging that following the 9/11 attacks the U.S. news media abandoned their traditional role of government overseer and became an agent of American policy instead.
I wonder how high up on the hotlist I am now. Black suited men should be knocking on my door soon. See you in Guantanamo,
Kevin
