Frightening. The Bush-war publicity machine seems to be working. Salon reports that a Knight-Ridder survey showed that 44 percent of the respondents said that most or some of the 9/11 terrorists were Iraqis.They weren't of course, something repeatedly discussed at the time. Furthermore, a spokesperson for the Prime Minister admitted that part of the British government's now infamous dossier on Iraq was plagiarised from a 1991 student thesis on Iraq. A former junior defence minster, Peter Kilfoyle, said he was shocked that such "thin evidence" was being used to win over the British public. Might not be the first time.
