And whilst on the subject of c^nts

There's a cracking piece in the Sunday Times today...




AL-QAEDA leaders in Iraq are planning the first “large-scale” terrorist attacks on Britain and other western targets with the help of supporters in Iran, according to a leaked intelligence report.

Spy chiefs warn that one operative had said he was planning an attack on “a par with Hiroshima and Nagasaki” in an attempt to “shake the Roman throne”, a reference to the West.

Another plot could be timed to coincide with Tony Blair stepping down as prime minister, an event described by Al-Qaeda planners as a “change in the head of the company”.

The report, produced earlier this month and seen by The Sunday Times, appears to provide evidence that Al-Qaeda is active in Iran and has ambitions far beyond the improvised attacks it has been waging against British and American soldiers in Iraq.

There is no evidence of a formal relationship between Al-Qaeda, a Sunni group, and the Shi’ite regime of President Mah-moud Ahmadinejad, but experts suggest that Iran’s leaders may be turning a blind eye to the terrorist organisation’s activities.

The intelligence report also makes it clear that senior Al-Qaeda figures in the region have been in recent contact with operatives in Britain.


which just about ticks every box when it comes to (apparently) confirming all of the hyperbole our politicians have been spouting...

• The existence of Al-Qaeda as a supremely capable and organised opponent - TICK
  
  
• ... in Iraq - TICK
  
  
• Implication that Al-Qaeda in Iraq is a threat to mainland Britain - TICK
  
  
• ... and therefore an implicit endorsement of our continued occupation of Iraq - TICK
  
  
• Iran involved too - TICK
  
  
• mention of a probable nuclear Armageddon - TICK

... without clouding the clarity of the dangers facing us with anything approximating to any actual proof or naming anyone who owns up to disseminating this horseshit.

Though I personally suspect this bloke is the man fabricating all the high-level intelligence MI6 and British newspapers want to report these days ...

"Listen very carefully. Everything I am about to say is true..."

It's hard to look upon the kind of 'yellow' journalism being practiced by the Sunday Times and all the others as anything but plain evil. After all, if you make a living selling hate and war on the flimsiest of evidence, or even no evidence at all, and people die as consequence doesn't that make you complicit in murder? What should the penalty for that kind of behaviour be?

OK, it's no longer a surprise that our mainstream media is being used as an outlet for war-mongering propaganda like this. But what I don't understand is why people are still so fucking stupid as to actually pay for this merde. It must be for the free DVDs every paper is giving away now or maybe the TV listings, or what? ... is it for the sudoko?
