Rumsfeld [accurately] accuses Arab TV
2003-11-26
EFL & Good Clean Fun
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld and his top military adviser said yesterday they have evidence that the Arab television news organizations Al Jazeera and Al Arabiya cooperated with Iraqi insurgents to witness and videotape attacks on American troops.
Tap, tap...nope, nothing.
Mr. Rumsfeld said the effort fit a pattern of psychological warfare used by remnants of the Baathist government, which want to create the impression that no amount of U.S. firepower can end the insurgency. "They’ve called Al Jazeera to come and watch them do it [attack American troops], and Al Arabiya," he told a Pentagon news conference. " ’Come and see us, watch us, here is what we’re going to do.’ "
Called? Probably just turned to the left and said, ‘are you ready?’
Pressed for details, Mr. Rumsfeld and Gen. Richard B. Myers, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, both indicated that U.S. forces in Iraq had collected more than just circumstantial evidence that one or both of the Arab news organizations might have cooperated with the attackers.
Cooperated? Hunch Alert: They are part of the network of terrorists.
