[Media-watch] media is used once again for new war propaganda

[Sigi D]

Dear MW friends,
America uses the media once again to prepare the next
war.
Powell claims that intelligence from Iranian exile
groups shows that Iran is developing nuclear missiles.
Sounds familiar, doesn't it?!

America has  used dodgy intelligence about WMD to
start an illegal war in Iraq.
http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/story.jsp?story=584369
The headline of the Independent article is: IRAN IS
WORKING ON NUCLEAR MISSILES WARNS POWELL
Shouldn't the headline have read:  "ANOTHER LIE THAT
MIGHT LEAD TO ANOTHER ILLEGAL WAR?"
And one more thing - how close are the Americans to go
nuclear?
The British government was willing to use nuclear
weapons in the illegal Iraq war.
Have a look at the bbc website 20 March 2002
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk_politics/1883258.stm
UK 'prepared to use nuclear weapons.'
"The UK is prepared to use nuclear weapons against
rogue states such as Iraq if they ever used "weapons
of mass destruction" against British troops in the
field, defense secretary Geoff Hoon has told MPs. "
Geoff Hoon is still our Defense Minister...

It's time for us to write to the papers and ask why
they carry such ridiculous headlines. Get cracking!
Have a fab weekend,
S
