....LMB: "That Bastard. That Motherfucking Bastard."....

September 08, 2002

As I've mentioned in LMB in the past, one of the incidents that helped galvanize US support for the Gulf War was a fabricated story about Iraqis killing newborn infants and stealing incubators from Kuwaiti hospitals. Our pals in the news media didn't notice that this story was bullshit till it was too late and the war was done.

It wasn't the only pre-Gulf War lie. More on the topic here.

And the new lies are upon us.

There was an AP article on Friday which stated:

"Satellite imagery shows unexplained construction at several sites of interest to U.N. inspectors seeking entry to Iraq to look for evidence that Baghdad is developing nuclear weapons, the inspection team's leader said Friday.

"French physicist Jacques Baute, the leader of the U.N. nuclear inspection team, said in a telephone interview that reviews of commercial satellite images since 1999 show 'some buildings that have been reconstructed ... and some new buildings (that) have been erected,' at sites his team had visited in the past.

"Without identifying them, Baute, based at the International Atomic Energy Organization in Vienna, described the sites as having potential 'dual-use capabilities,' meaning they could potentially be locations for both civilian and military nuclear programs. He did not further specify what sort of facilities his team viewed from the photos."

This certainly makes it look as though Iraq may be up to something shady. Tony Blair brought it up at a press conference in Texas on Saturday. President Bush riffed off of Blair saying "I don't know what more evidence we need."

Turns out it's not true, of course.

After the AP printed the article above, the IAEA released a press statement to correct its erroneous slant:

"With reference to an article published today in the New York Times, the International Atomic Energy Agency would like to state that it has no new information on Iraq's nuclear programme since December 1998 when its inspectors left Iraq. Only through a resumption of inspections in accordance with Security Council Resolution 687 and other relevant resolutions can the Agency draw any conclusion with regard to Iraq's compliance with its obligations under the above resolutions relating to its nuclear activities."

So in other words, the IAEA has no new evidence that supports either the AP's or Bush's arguments that Iraq is working on nuclear weapons.

A Bush official has since admitted that Bush had "misstated" the report.

Please spread this far and wide. There is not evidence that Iraq is getting nuclear weapons. But these sorts of disinformation can stick around.

And perhaps we've already seen the biggest lie of all? Bush's repeated claims that no decisions have been made, that war is not inevitable, when, according to this article, "the United States has begun the massive military build-up required for a war against Iraq, ordering the movement of tens of thousands of men and tonnes of matériel to the Gulf region."

I think that the next step in this ludicrous sideshow will be George and Tony going to the UN with their "evidence," and demanding that the UN send weapons inspectors into Iraq immediately. And if Iraq refuses to allow the inspectors in, or raises any sort of fuss once the inspectors enter, the US and UK will use it as an excuse to attack.

Of course, if you're Saddam Hussein, there isn't much incentive to let weapons inspectors into the country. Since 1998, Iraq has said that they won't allow inspections unless the UN agrees to then lift the sanctions on the country. Y'know, the ones that have killed over a million Iraqis.

(Remember, sanctions that kill more people than a half dozen Hiroshoma bombs aren't a "weapon of mass destruction." They're "diplomacy")

Frankly, the war on Iraq has been on in slow motion for a decade now.

[edit]

Just read the full text of the Bush-Blair Texas press conference. Check out how Bush signs off:

"I'm honored to be the president. And so long as I am the president, I'm going to work hard to make America safe and the world more peaceful."

Didn't someone say that irony died on September 11?

BUSH IS THE BIGGEST THREAT TO THE WORLD SINCE HITLER. HE MAKES POL-POT LOOK LIKE A SAINT!! BUSH WOULD SACRIFICE ALL OF THE YOUTH OF THIS COUNTRY TO SECURE A FEW BILLION IN OIL REVENUE FOR HIS DRUNKEN DAUGHTERS. ISN'T IT STRANGE THAT NOT ONE BUSH FAMILY MEMBER IS EVEN REMOTELY CONNECTED TO THE ARMED SERVICES? THIS MEGLOMANIACAL LUNITIC MUST BE PUT IN A LOCKED PADDED CELL BEFORE HE DESTROYS WHAT IS LEFT OF THE WORLD.
WE WILL NEVER BE THE UNITED STATES OF BUSH, WE ARE THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND WILL TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK BEFORE THE BUSH FAMILY SELLS US TO CHINA.

I'm a muslim and i had a lot of sympathy for americans when 3000 people died on 9/11. Then america went on a bombing spree and killed 20x that number, (cos an american life is worth more). Now i don't giv a fuck if all the terrorists descend on america, ure government are 'cold blooded killers', 'mass murderers', bush keeps touting 'freedom' and fucking 'democracy'. Motherfucker forget to mention something more dear than that. Oil. Pure and simple. Everbody else suffers cos america has to fill up its gas tanks.

Tales of Media Woe

Senate May Ram Copyright Bill- one of the most depressing stories of the day that didn't involve death or bombs. It's the music and movie industries' wet dream. It criminalizes peer-to-peer software makers, allows the government to file civil lawsuits on behalf of these media industries, and eliminates fair use. Fair use is the idea that I can use a snippet of a copyrighted work for educational, political, or satirical purposes, without getting permission from the copyright-holder first.

And most tellingly, the bill legalizes technology that would automatically skip over "obejctionable content" (i.e. sex and violence) in a DVD, but bans devices that would automatically skip over commericals. This is a blatant, blatant, blatant gift to the movie industry. Fuck the movie industry, fuck the music industry, fuck the Senate.

Music industry aims to send in radio cops- the recording industry says that you're not allowed to record songs off the radio, be it real radio or internet radio. And now they're working on preventing you from recording songs off internet radio through a mixture of law and technological repression (although I imagine their techno-fixes will get hacked pretty quickly).

The shocking truth about the FCC: Censorship by the tyranny of the few- blogger Jeff Jarvis discovers that the recent $1.2 million FCC fine against a sex scene in Fox's "Married By America" TV show was not levied because hundreds of people wrote the FCC and complained. It was not because 159 people wrote in and complained (which is the FCC's current rationale). No, thanks to Jarvis' FOIA request, we find that only 23 people (of the show's several million viewers) wrote in and complained. On top of that, he finds that 21 of those letters were just copy-and-paste email jobs that some people attached their names to. Jarvis then spins this a bit by saying that "only 3" people actually wrote letters to the FCC, which is misleading but technically true. So somewhere between 3 and 23 angry people can determine what you can't see on television. Good to know.

Reuters Union Considers Striking Over Layoffs- will a strike by such a major newswire service impact the rest of the world's media?

Pentagon Starts Work On War Internet- the US military is talking about the creation of a global, wireless, satellite-aided computer network for use in battle. I think I saw a movie about this once...

Conservative host returns to the air after week suspension for using racial slur- Houston radio talk show host (and somtime Rush Limbaugh substitute) Mark Belling referred to Mexican-Americans as "wetbacks" on his show. He was suspended for a couple of weeks, and then submitted a written apology for the racial slur to a local newspaper. But he seems to be using the slur and its surrounding controversy to boost his conservative cred with his listeners.

Stay Tuned for Nudes- Cleveland TV news anchor Sharon Reed aired a story about artist Spencer Tunick, who uses large numbers of naked volunteers in his installations and photographs. The news report will be unique in that it will not blur or black-out the usual naughty bits. The story will air late at night, when it's allegedly okay with the FCC if you broadcast "indecent" material. The author of this article doesn't seem to notice that Reed first claims that this report is a publicity stunt, but then claims it's a protest against FCC repression. I'd like to think it's the latter, but I'm not that much of a sucker.
