14. Can you imagine how bad it must be for them to have to maintain a complete blackout?

Hersh in 2004 reported it involved all manner of evil, including harming children in front of their parents -- "for information" -- from people who had NOTHING to do with 9-11.

“Debating about it, ummm … Some of the worst things that happened you don’t know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there. Some of you may have read that they were passing letters out, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib … The women were passing messages out saying ‘Please come and kill me, because of what’s happened’ and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. And the worst above all of that is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror. It’s going to come out.”


It never did though. Corporate Owned News does as its told. They will go no where near anywhere near following up on war crimes, let alone the treason leading up to the wars for profit. The example also shows BFEE power over the press.

It's like Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. getting no air time at all when he stated his father thought the Warren Commission was crapola.

Who's that leave, when "journalists" won't even bother to report, let alone investigate, treason?
