KILLERS WITH CAMERAS By RALPH PETERS
IMAGINE if, on D-Day, the Nazis had been allowed to place camera teams on Omaha Beach â with our suffering soldiers forbidden to interfere. What if, on top of that, the Germans had invented American atrocities against French civilians â and our own officials defended their right to do so in the name of press freedom? Thatâs the situation with al-Jazeera in Iraq. Staffed by embittered exiles and pan-Arabist ideologues â the last Nasserites â al-Jazeera is so consumed by hatred of America and the West that the network would rather see Iraq collapse into a bloodbath than permit the emergence of a democracy sponsored by Washington.
Rest at the link. Well-written piece. |
