Story: Nach den Terroranschlägen vom 11. September 2001 trägt die Regierung um Präsident George W. Bush Beweise zusammen, der Irak besäße Massenvernichtungswaffen, deren Einsatz um jeden Preis verhindert werden müsse. Bush rechtfertigt damit den Einmarsch 2003 in den Irak, um Saddam Hussein als Machthaber abzusetzten. Während der Großteil der Washingtoner Presse die Worte des Präsidenten für bare Münze nimmt, graben Jonathan Landay und Warren Stroebel tiefer. Sie jagen jeder Spur nach und nutzen anonyme Regierungsquellen, um aufzudecken, dass die Gründe des Präsidenten, in den Krieg zu ziehen, auf Lügen und falschen Informationen beruhen. Doch schon bald erfahren die beiden Reporter, dass das Enthüllen der Wahrheit nicht heißt, dass die Menschen sie auch hören wollen und die Stimmen des Krieges jeden Widerspruch übertönen.

Jamie Court on Gas Prices and Jonathan Landay on FEMA & Michael Brown This week on CounterSpin: Is $4 a gallon gasoline the natural consequence of damage done by Hurricane Katrina? Where some see profiteering, many media analysts, like Newsweek's Robert Samuelson, see the market working exactly as it should. We'll hear from Jamie Court of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights about what's unnatural about price spikes at the pump. Also on the program: Was now-ousted FEMA Chief Michael Brown really in charge of the emergency response to the Hurricane Katrina disaster? A September 14th report by the enterprising reporters with the Knight-Ridder news service says no, lending credence to suspicions that Brown might have been something of a scapegoat. We'll talk to Knight-Ridder reporter Johnathan Landay about who was really in charge of the federal response to Katrina. The post Counterspin – September 16, 2005 appeared first on KPFA.
