"An Iraqi girl screamed Tuesday after her parents were killed when American soldiers fired on their car when it failed to stop, despite warning shots, in Tal Afar, Iraq." The picture and caption are from the inside pages of today's New York Times. How did the New York Times know that warning shots were fired? How did the New York Times know that the car failed to stop? Do you see how the US media offer free propaganda help to US wars? The military said that the incident is being investigated, but why the investigation when the New York Times found the shooting to be justified. Oh, ya: this is also "liberation." I dedicate this picture to George W. Bush on the occasion of his inauguration.
