The Truth : RIP : Pentagon plans to bomb Independent Reporters in Iraq

category national | miscellaneous | news report author Monday March 10, 2003 22:24author by Eamonn Crudden Report this post to the editors

Full Story at Link

The Pentagon has threatened to fire on the satellite uplink positions of independent journalists in Iraq, according to veteran BBC war correspondent, Kate Adie. In an interview with Irish radio, Ms. Adie said that questioned about the consequences of such potentially fatal actions, a senior Pentagon officer had said: "Who cares.. ..They've been warned."

It became something of a joke in the British army that when Kate Adie arrived on the scene, the soldiers knew they were in trouble.

I thought they'd try to bury her last year.

I recall that there was a poorly put together set up where she was directly asked a question about the Prime Ministers itinerary on a foreign visit and they came looking for her scalp for it.

obviously tougher than they thought she was.

More Adies, Pilgers and Fisks, less SKY and FOX.

These sorts of threat are obviously aimed at preventing independent reporting of the war so that it can be sanitised and reduced to soundbites and statistics.

The US and UK will breach or bypass all international law in pursuit of their war aims and do not want the war to have a human face and risk being exposed for the butchers they are!

Good luck to Ms. Adie and her colleagues as well as Indymedia ant other alternative media where we can get a feel for what is really happening!
