My email to the BBC

In response to this article & John Simpson's spot on News24 saying the same damn thing: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/middle_east/7311565.stm

Dear BBC,

Why are you lending credence to the Bush administration's buildup to their much-wanted war in Iran by carrying stories such as the one where Petraeus blamed Sunday's attack on Iran? You know, the one that just conveniently happened on the same day the 4000th US soldier was killed in Baghdad?

Did you earn nothing from this administration's lies about Iraq? Can you not see that they're doing the same thing with Iran?

And let me tell you something else... the *only* reason interest in the war is slumping in the US is because the mainstream "liberal" media says it is. And you're perpetuating that lie with stories like this: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/world/middle_east/7311814.stm

Please show some spine and stop parroting the Bush party line.

Yours very sincerely,
(Me)
