that zarqawi was the leader of the men who cut off an already dead guys head
(was cia actually) and walked perfectly without a limp, and then six months
later they found out that the so called real zarqawi from jordan is an amputee
that gets around in a fucking wheel chair...

fucking eh brilliant... you dont see the american corporate lapdog media
telling us that again...

i guess wheelchaired terrorist singlehandedly fucks over american troops
doesnt make a good story...

but what does make a good story is imaginary bad man killed, after haditha,
not being able to give the shaft to gays, and every other fucked up thing our
government is doing...

eat up fucking lapdogs, eat it up...

"The Government Accountability Office found this year that the Bush administration had violated
the law by producing pseudo news reports that were later used on American television stations with
no indication that they had been prepared by the government. But no law prohibits the use of such
covert propaganda abroad."

Presumably the Bush administration felt that if it was legal to deceive the world public, why not
try it on the American people? Besides, if the whole war was illegal what is the harm in illegally
reporting on it?

So, has the US stopped the illegal practice since the NYT reported on it last year? Not according
to the Washington Post report of 10 April 2006:

"For the past two years, U.S. military leaders have been using Iraqi media and other outlets in
Baghdad to publicize Zarqawi's role in the insurgency. The documents explicitly list the "U.S.
Home Audience" as one of the targets of a broader propaganda campaign.

Some senior intelligence officers believe Zarqawi's role may have been overemphasized by the
propaganda campaign, which has included leaflets, radio and television broadcasts, Internet
postings and at least one leak to an American journalist. Although Zarqawi and other foreign
insurgents in Iraq have conducted deadly bombing attacks, they remain "a very small part of the
actual numbers," Col. Derek Harvey, who served as a military intelligence officer in Iraq and then
was one of the top officers handling Iraq intelligence issues on the staff of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, told an Army meeting at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., last summer."
