Report of cluster bombing sanitised by Montrose

Early yesterday Richard Downes reported how his vehicle was attacked by US planes dropping cluster bombs in a residential market area. He mentioned seeing an Iraqi tank dug into a house nearby but scoffed at the idea it was the US target as it was not visible from the air.

By later news broadcasts he had obviously been told what to say (by who?). He now declared that the tank in the house was the target and that it was the Iraqis who were acting illegally. See how a little lie can shift responsibility?

No, Richard you liar, the Iraqi people are fighting a war of liberation against an invading army. They can hide in their homes or fight any way they want beacuse they are defending their country. Don't try an excuse the US murder by blaming it on the Iraqi people for how they defend their families.

Joe Duffy was good enough to run a propaganda show too for the US/UK. He allowed two pro-war chauvanist pigs to gang up on a young woman from the Naked Protest. More fascinated by female nudeness and scoffing the pigs referred to the young woman as "my Dear" on five occaisions while she managed to remain calm.
The producer of the show was not so tolerant when I rang to complain. She became angry, then furious and then hung up when I made my points interspersed with "My Dear". She found me referring to her as "my Dear" as being insulting but was happy to sit back like Joe and Pigs did to see if the young woman would lose her cool- she didn't .

When this act of mass murder is over RTE will have to answer for it's crimes. It is their duty to report to the people of Ireland fairly and accurately and there are numerous examples of their deliberate lies.
