andsome Posted May 19, 2003 Report Share Posted May 19, 2003 Did anyone see the program on TV last night, concerning the dramatic rescue of that American female private, from an Iraqui hospital? Evidently an Iraqi doctor had already tried to hand her over to American troops, but had been shot at. Troops landed and asked a civilian the way to the hospital. When the raid actually took place the Iraqi military had already fled. No gun fight ever took place. Evidently the video had been severely edited, just so that a dramatic rescue could be televised. At that time the war had not been going quite to plan, and the White House wanted something to stir up patriotic feelings in the general public. This was not the only piece of doctored information given out. The young black general who conducted the news conferences was accused of some doctoring of the evidence in many of the conferences. One journalist was banned from asking further questions when he tried to get at the truth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
