Iraq - kidnapping or con? II

Just to update you on my original post on the curious kidnappings in Iraq.

The French Journalist Syrian driver, Mohammed al-Jundi, was found in Falluja by US troops, tortured and chained to a wall. He is now suing the US claiming they tortured him. Set up?

The French Journalist themselves now say "People who combat an illegal occupation that results from an illegal war are résistants." Set up?

Remember the US Muslim Marine, Cpl. Wassef Ali Hassoun, who was "kidnapped" and then some how turned up in Lebanon? Well, the Marines, after an investigation, charged him with desertion. He was on leave and due to return to Camp Lejeune on Tuesday to face charges. Seems he's deserted again. Set up?

And what about Jo Wilding the well known anti-war activist that conspired with the BBC to fabricate a story alleging US war crimes and faked her own kidnapping? (definite set up) She's still protesting but since she was exposed by me, the BBC have stopped using her as a source.

That hasn't stopped the BBC from using anti-war activists to fabricate fake stories accusing the US of abuses in Iraq.

No doubt there are kidnappings by the terrorists in Iraq, but you might want to keep this in mind next time you read of a kidnapping in Iraq, it might not be what it appears to be.

Did you ever get a response from the BBC to either the original story from April or the latest one?

I got a response from the BBC on the first incident.

Many thanks for your e-mail regarding Jo Wilder's piece on the 'Iraq: Your experiences' page. All e-mails on our pages are vetted before publication, however her background had not been made clear to us and, therefore, we have now removed it from the piece.

Many thanks for drawing our attention to this oversight and we apologise if we have misled you on the issue. I hope this does not prevent you from reading our site in the future.

Kind regards,

While the BBC deleted her story on the 'Iraq: Your experiences' page, they left her story on another page.

Notice Sarah misspelled Wilding's name.

And this was no oversight as she claims, the BBC felt confident no one would notice. The BBC still don't understand the power of bloggers.

It's also important to note that while Ms Brown emailed me, the rest of the world is none the wiser because the BBC did not print a retraction.

I have had no reply to my latest complaint.
