What a classic post and perfect example of how the media distorts information!!! Zeyad at Healing Iraq reported on July 1: talks about a widespread and preposterous rumor Then Sydney Morning Herald’s Paul McGeough: says "according to two people who allege" and then "they say" and "they say" with no actual names attached. Then ABC picks it up, sounds much more authoritive, and repeats the "they say" 'stuff' with nothing to back it up.... Then UPI picks it up, again even sounds more firm than the previous news wantabees, adds a few "is said to have's" and a "the report said"....(the Sydney Herald report from the above start of telephone tag) Soon it should make Time Magazine as gospel, and The Nation as a bad example of American intervention.....
