I lelve with your argument Thomas, however even you must concede, the Iraqi 'mutilation' story was covered by EVERY news network in the US and UK,
as well as most other 'sympathetic' networks.
However, the retraction article is evidently impossible to find on the news.
That is what gets under peoples skin.
The govt makes a hoo haa about the 'savages' and 'evil' of the opponent. But when it comes to showing good, or kindness, or even confessing to its
own flaws, it is alot less vocal.
I am not stupid, I know that at the end of the day, it is both humbling and humiliating to withdraw statements and no-one would make a song and dance
about it, but my understanding is the initial stories of the Iraqis attacking the dead bodies, were from statements released by the military.
There are not that many CNN or FOX or BBC reporters on the ground in Iraq, who would have witnessed the act. They got their info from the military,
just as they have today gotten the retraction from them.
I reckon, the govt may not be as foul as some people make it out to be, its the media that moulds us all..that includes me and you...
