Once again, you can see a manipulation of the truth that got us into Iraq.

Working w/ repug p.r. firms an ex Iraqi hooker told lies of rape, torture,
and murder so as to justify the insanity that is our actions in Iraq.

A long but GOOD article on the use of "Yellow Journalism" to help in getting
countries into wars.

The bush administration uses Hill & Knowlton p.r. firm along with Creative Response
Concepts in spreading their lies to a compliant media and an American public that
has a large number of people who do not read or have critical thinking skills.

However the same people who wear their "pray for the troops" cameo bracelets and
think that Iraq had something to do w/ 9-11 can tell you all about the new "celebs"
on American Ideal. :puke:

January 24, 2005 - "The horrific experience of Iraqi woman Jumana Hanna -- supposedly imprisoned, raped, and tortured for years on the orders of Uday Hussein -- was cited by the Bush administration and its supporters as "reason alone" for the war. But Hanna's story -- like the rest of the administration's case -- was a tissue of fabrication."

1. Why not? It worked when the Kuwaiti Ambassador's daughter

used a PR firm to sell Iraqi soldiers unplugging incubators. Does anyone still think the MSM are unwilling accomplices?

2. Bush Sr. & Jr.

Both used the firm Hill & Knowlton to sell Iraqi stories of gore.
Hell, the same people from that firm probably worked in both cases.

3. We need to "be the media"

We need to get this story of fabrication and deceit out to the public in any way possible...have to borrow the "be the media" line from the Fraud 2004 group....

I so pissed I could scream............ :grr: :grr: :grr:
