Britain - BBC Covering For Muslims - Again

In covering for Muslims, the BBC leave out some truly digusting details in this report.

Unlike the BBC, The Telegraph tells it like it is.

A village council in Pakistan has decreed that five young women should be abducted, raped or killed for refusing to honour childhood "marriages".

The BBC isn't the only European media covering for Muslims. The French are at it too.

One of France's leading TV news executives has admitted censoring his coverage of the riots in the country for fear of encouraging support for far-right politicians.

Which is exactly what the BBC is doing.

And if that doesn't work, the media just make stories up out of thin air.

Iraq - 700 terrorists killed since Sept

Excellent.

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. and Iraqi forces have killed more than 700 suspected insurgents in less than two months during operations in western Iraq, the U.S. military said on Wednesday, calling the result "very successful".

Major General Rick Lynch, a spokesman for U.S. forces in Iraq, said that as well as those killed, 1,500 suspects had been detained, including an undisclosed number of foreign fighters, and more than 200 weapons caches discovered.

America - Trouble With CBS's "Experts"

You'd think after their failed attempt to derail Bush's re-election bid with fake documents, CBS would have learned its lesson. You'd be wrong.

Sheesh.

France - Muslim Appeasement Never Works

CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER writes in Time.

On the one side are the protester-arsonists, many if not most of them Muslim, whom the Interior Minister called racaille (rabble)--young, restless, violent, vibrant, angry, jobless, envious and fecund. And on the other side is an aged and exhausted civilization, the hollowed-out core of European Christendom, static, aging, contented, coddled, passive and literally without faith. Who would you think will win in the end? …

France always thought it had one last resort, one ready strategy for fending off the rage of its Arab street: beyond avoidance lay appeasement. No country in the West has done more to cultivate world Arab opinion, to appease Arab terrorists, to ostentatiously oppose American Middle East policy (Iraq above all), to champion the signal Arab cause of Palestine. It was no accident that Yasser Arafat chose Paris as his place to die--Paris, after Jerusalem, his second holiest city.

Paris burns anyway. As the French seem to learn every 70 years, appeasement does not work. It merely whets the appetite. And the angry alien young were already hungry.

When is Britain going to learn?

Iraq - The Pull Out Has Already Started

Seems the Democrats and MSM are unaware the return of Iraq to Iraqis is well underway.

When U.S. forces officially hand over Forward Operating Base Danger to the Iraqi government on Tuesday, it will be the 29th time an American base in Iraq has been relinquished. But, officials said Monday, handing over FOB Danger will be “the most significant transition of real estate thus far.”

It's not just military bases either, entire towns are being turned over to Iraqis.

The failure of MSM to report on the return of Iraq to Iraqis is more evidence of their support for the Democrats. And why doesn't the Administration point this out?

Some have suggested that all Zarqawi has to do is just wait and we'll leave on our own. The answer is, he can't. That would like a victory for us. Zarqawi has to be seen to have pushed us out for it to be a victory for him.

America - Democrats Playing Politics With Security

NRO reports.

Specifically, John Negroponte, the director of National Intelligence — the post created by Congress in the rush to implement the recommendations of the September 11 Commission — appears to be losing patience with the Democrats, led by Michigan Sen. Carl Levin, who are blocking the nomination of Benjamin Powell to be the DNI's general counsel. There is no substantive objection to Powell, nor does anyone believe the director of National Intelligence should not have a chief lawyer. Rather, the Powell nomination appears to be the victim of Democratic anger at the administration over the treatment of suspected terrorist detainees.

And they post Negroponte's letter in full.

Iraq - Security in Kut Handed Over to Iraqis

More good news from Iraq that MSM don't want you to know about.

Iraqi troops are now in full control of Kut(aka Al Kut) as the Ukranian garrison there is preparing to leave the country.

It is the first major city where security is wholly in Iraqi hands. Kut, 160 kilometers south of Baghdad, is a strategic city as it borders Iran and several major provinces in the south, including the capital of Baghdad.

Kut, home to nearly 500,000 people, is the capital of the province of al-Wasit.

Britain - Blair To Deport 20 Terrorists

I'll believe it when I see it.

Not everyone is happy about it though.

Civil rights activists and the UN special envoy on torture have warned, however, that such assurances have no weight in international law and would not sufficiently protect the deportees.

Why would you want to protect terrorists? And, what about our protection from them?

America - Terrorists Just Have A Different Perspective

That's according to Chris Matthews.

These people are a danger to society.

Nordic views on Islam sour after global attacks

Can you blame them?

In October, leading Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten stirred emotions when it defied Islam's ban on images of Prophet Mohammad by printing cartoons depicting him in various guises, including one where his turban appears to be a bomb.

How dare they?

Of course, Muslims committing crimes against Christians is ok.

Why is it Muslims can bring a Koran into Britain but Britains can't take a Bible into Saudi Arabia?

Pakistan - Five women offered up for rape

And this is 2005 - right?

A village council in Pakistan has decreed that five young women should be abducted, raped or killed for refusing to honour childhood "marriages".

Thailand - Muslims Decapitate Another Buddhist

Let me guess, Muslims are beheading Buddhists because of the war in Iraq - right?

BANGKOK (Reuters) - Suspected Muslim militants have beheaded a Buddhist man in southern Thailand, police said on Wednesday, the second decapitation this month and the 14th in nearly two years of unrest that has claimed 1,000 lives.

America - Vegetables and fruits cause more US food illnesses

And the misleading headline of the day goes to al Reuters.

Al Reuters either hopes you won't bother to read the article or perhaps not notice this bit:

Common sources of food illnesses include various bacteria such as salmonella and E.coli that can infect humans and animals then make their way into manure used to fertilize plants. The practice of using manure fertilizer is more common in Latin America, which has become a growing source of fresh produce for the United States.

So, more accurately the headline should be "Latin American vegatables and fruit cause more US food illnesses".

Britain - BBC Caught Lying - Again

I for one am not shocked at the latest BBC lie.

THE BBC was embarrassed last night by e-mails that showed it “invented” a justification for spending £60,000 of licence payers’ money commissioning a Tracey Emin sculpture.

Emin’s Roman Standard sculpture of a bird on a post was bought by the BBC at a time when Mark Thompson, its director-general, was announcing big cost cuts.

Internal e-mails revealed serious doubts within the organisation about spending so much on a sculpture that had no links to the corporation.

An e-mail dated February 22 from senior BBC publicist Janet Morrow to Vanda Rumney, head of communications, gave warning that the commission could create a “sticky situation on the public art front which could blow up”.

Morrow noted that the sculpture “is not connected to a BBC building, nor is it linked in any way to a BBC broadcast or BBC activity — the BBC has purely used licence fee money to create a public sculpture”.

She then said she had “invented” a “plausible line” to justify the commission. Her line, that the BBC should claim it had a long history of commissioning visual art, was later adopted by Alan Yentob, the BBC’s creative director.

More BBC lies here.

America - CBS's Fake Documents

Before you buy Mary Mapes book, you can read the truth from the Independent Panel that CBS hired to investigate the fake documents. The report is here in PDF format.

After reading the report, why would anyone watch CBS, believe Dan Rather or buy Mapes' book?

Then read more on the media faking it.

Thank god for bloggers, now the left can't lie and get away with it anymore.

World not ready for bio-terror threat

Reuters reports.

"Al Qaeda's global network, its proven capabilities, its deadly history, its desire to do the unthinkable and the evidence collected about its bio-terrorist ambitions, ominously portend a clear and present danger of the highest order."

Ah, don't worry about it. According to the BBC it's just an illusion, a myth.

The most frightening of these is the threat of an international terror network. But just as the dreams were not true, neither are these nightmares.

In a new series, the Power of Nightmares explores how the idea that we are threatened by a hidden and organised terrorist network is an illusion.

It is a myth that has spread unquestioned through politics, the security services and the international media.

Knowing the BBC's reputation for lying, I'll keep my powder dry.
