BBC still covering up for war criminals

This evening's Six O'Clock News bulletin reported on the death of Al-Zaqarwi in Iraq. Personally, I had no time for him, and if he was responsible for attacks on Shia civilians there as claimed, then his death is no loss. However, in the course of this report the BBC claimed that he was responsible for the biggest crimes against civilians in Iraq.

What about Fallujah then? Who was responsible for that? The BBC are still making propaganda for the war criminals in Washington and London. This is the text of my complaint to the BBC:

"BBC 6 o'clock news tonight claimed that Al-Zarqawi was responsible for the biggest crimes against civilians in Iraq.

What about the destruction of Fallujah and the mass murder of civilians there? What about the illegal use of chemical weapons in the course of that war crime?

That was nothing to do with Al-Zarqawi. It was purely the responsibility of George W.Bush, backed up by Tony Blair.

When is the BBC going to stop attempting to cover up for the war criminals in Washington and London? All you are doing is undermining your own credibility, and undermining the argument that the BBC should continue to be funded by the licence fee. If BBC News chooses to put out propaganda, you have no right to be funded by the British licence-fee payer."


If you wish to register your opinions on the quality of the BBC's `News' operation, go here.

Incidentally, the BBC reported that other people, including a child, were killed in the attack on Zarqawi. This is very reminiscent of the way Israel targets Palestinians activists with not a care in the world about how many ordinary people they kill.

Congratulations USA. You just murdered another child in Iraq, and you don't give a shit about it.
