September 21st, 2005CNN continued their long tradition of lying to the public today! During their one minute or sothat they dedicate to news items other than the one or two stories they cover during any givenhour, they reported about some tension in Iraq related to some British soldiers who were“rescued” by British troops. “Rescued!” They told the public that the soldiers were “rescued!!!!”This is a bold face out and out lie! The soldiers in question were arrested, shot an Iraqi policeofficer, were dressed up as Arabs, heavily armed, and the British troops broke them out of jailallowing 150 inmates to escape in the process!!! Can CNN possibly mislead the public any morethan they have on this one news item?CNN, the most trusted name in news? How sad a statement about the news industry is that?Think about it!www.tvnewslies.org/blog/?p=126'Five Iraqi civilians killed' in SAS rescue operationTelegraphSeptember 21, 2005Five Iraqi civilians died in clashes surrounding the controversial operation to free two BritishSAS men captured in Basra, it was claimed today.Iraqi police said the latest two died in hospital today after being wounded as British troopsstormed a police station jail on Monday.Iraqi police are reported to have taken part in anti-British demonstrations in the southern Iraqicity today.But John Reid, the Defence Secretary, and Iraqi prime minister Ibrahim al-Jaafari insistedrelations between the two countries remained strong."There has not been a fundamental breakdown in trust between the British Government and theIraqi government," Mr Reid said at a press conference following talks between the two men inLondon today.He said the strategy of the British Government had not changed, and it would work towards ahandover of security to Iraqi forces."We will not cut and run, and we will not leave the job half done," he said.Mr Jaafari also said that the incidents of the last few days would not affect British-Iraqi relations,and said such incidents were "expected to happen". He said he had ordered a full inquiry.Confusion still surrounds whether British forces knocked down a prison wall, resulting in theescape of prisoners, in their attempt to rescue the two SAS men.212
The British troops believed the two Special Forces men were being held there but later freedthem from a house in Basra where they were being held by Shia militia.As concern grew that Iraqi police had handed the men over to the militia, Iraq's governmentadmitted that insurgents had infiltrated its security forces.Iraq's national security adviser Dr Mouwafak al-Rubaie said: "Our Iraqi security forces ingeneral, police in particular, in many parts of Iraq, I have to admit, have been penetrated by someof the insurgents, some of the terrorists as well."I can't deny this. We are putting in place a very scrupulous, very meticulous vetting procedurein the process of recruiting a new batch of police and Iraqi army, which will, if you like, cleanour security forces as well as stop any penetration in future from the insurgents and terrorists."The capture of the SAS men came a day after British forces in Basra arrested two leadingmembers of the outlawed Mahdi Army, which is loyal to firebrand cleric Muqtada al-Sadr and iswidely believed to have heavily infiltrated police in the city.Other groups to have infiltrated the police are believed to include the Badr Brigade, which is thearmed wing of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Revolution, and Hezbollah in Iraq.All three groups have historical ties to neighbouring Iran.Police in Basra said the SAS men, who were travelling in a car dressed as Arab men, shot andkilled a policeman when they were stopped.But the British said no one was killed and a spokesman for Mr Jaafari said they were arrested forbehaving suspiciously.British officers say they received intelligence that the men's lives were at risk and bulldozed theirway into the jail, in the face of a mob throwing petrol bombs, to rescue them.The action, condemned by many in Iraq, was defended as "absolutely right" by Dr Reid.portal.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2005/09/21/uiraqa.xml&sSheet=/portal/2005/09/21/ixportaltop.htmlDouble Standards in IraqBritish Agents in Local Drag Saved by CavalryLINDA S.
