We see too much. We know too much. That's our best defence. John Pilger. Independent 6.4.03. Wide-ranging article that uses history to dissect the "propaganda and corrupt journalism" that has accompanied the invasion of Iraq. Among others he cites Labour MP Tam Dalyell who accuses Tony Blair of war crimes and Palestinian writer Ghada Karmi who argues that "a deep and unconscious racism" has elevated Saddam Hussain from a petty local chiefdom, albeit a brutal and ruthless one, to a figure "demonised beyond reason".
