Yesterday a friend of mine called and was quite distraught with the situation deteriorating in Iraq. I listened to him and was quiet.
It had to do with a news story that Reuters had published that said 6 men were dragged from their mosque and burned alive. That the police stood by and did nothing. You have probably heard the story. As soon as Reuters went with it the AP picked it up and it has now been published round the world. Reaction has been predictable. Horrors.
Now, it seem that all this was a hoax. A reputed liar, Police Captain Jamil Hussein told this tall tale. He did so because it gets him publicity. So, now, we have people all over the world upset, frustrated and retaliation going on for something that didn't happen.
All over a lie.
Reuters should have vetted the story. They didn't. They just went with it without any check. The AP were sheep. That's our mainstream media for you. They report any lie as long as it made the war look futile and Bush look bad.
So, what? We must become critics of what we hear and read. The lies are deep and wide. It's not as bad as they report. It's not as good either. The truth is out there, but it's not easy to find.
Learn to see thru all the fog and look for the truth. That's always the issue, when people hear lies they go nuts. They jump to conclusions. They believe what is convenient.
It's like AL GORE and his goofy movie. No one wants that either. It's lies. The scientific community is running as fast as they can from his allegations.
There's always a hidden agenda, follow the agenda or follow the money and you will be safe. It's either self promotion (Al Gore) or it's money.
Liar Liar pants on fire, nose as long as a telephone wire.
