I am a firm believer that one cannot believe anyting we see on the news, read in the papers, etc, without a fair amount of investigation and confirming via other sources. Rather-Gate was a great example of this.

As far as my middle-east politics go, I am more accurately an anti-Arab vs. pro-Isreali. Many think our backing Isreali is what gets the US into trouble. I believe (and history seems to support this) that Arabs, without someone other than Arabs to fight, would fight each other. Even if Isreal did not exist, most Arab states would be anti-US just because the money/power in most Arab states want to maintain the status quo and the threat of western culture-corruption is too much.

Now onto the links!

I saw on the news this morning that Reutur's fired a freelance Lebonese photographer for submitting a docotored photograph which showed the after affects of an Isreali attack being more devastating than the original photo showed.

No wonder the drones of the world end up supporting the wrong side!?

Ain't that somethin'!? So I googled Qana, and found a few more interesting tidbits of possible misdirection. It looks like Qana maybe was not that big of a tragedy?! I maybe on the slow side on this topic, but had not heard of it previously.

Additional disclaimer - I have not research possible alternative misdirection done in the other direction in order to drum up pro-Isreali support.

While on vacation this weekend I briefly came across a news story that was interviewing a nurse in Lebanon. She said Hezbulla actually parked some sort of anti-aircraft missile in front of the hospital she worked at in order to draw Israel fire to it!

Oh and after they parked it there they took off! I'm not surprised at these cowardly tactics...I'm surprised that this type of information isn't in every newspaper and on every TV station.

I'm not surprised -- if it bleeds it leads --- so it is in the best interests of a media outlet to have a controversial gruesome war.

......I'm surprised that this type of information isn't in every newspaper and on every TV station.

It's very absence speaks volumes as to whose side the spineless socialist media is on. Let the Isrealies (S?) do it, or the U.S. in Iraq or Afghanistan, and you'll see a media blitz second to none.

I say we are at war with the wrong people.....

Strange that is today's web connected world the old saying of believe none of what you hear and half of what you see... is now, believe half of what you hear and none of what you see.
