9. Incubator babies story created by PR firm Hill & Knowlton using Kuwaiti diplomat's daughter as shill

Anyway, there was an incredible conflict of interest between the
caucus and Hill & Knowlton, the most important aspect of which was
that the Congressional Human Rights Foundation, which was a
fund-raising arm of the caucus, had its offices, rent-free, in the
Hill & Knowlton headquarters. The Hill & Knowlton executives were also
representing as clients habitual human rights violators like Turkey,
Indonesia and China. You might ask yourself why Lantos and Porter were
allowing this arrangement. In any event, the star of the hearing was a
young 15 year-old girl named Nayirah -- no last name, no address, no
occupation -- who said that she had volunteered at Kuwaiti hospitals
and had seen the babies pulled from incubators and left to die on the
cold floor.

Now, to this day, I cannot tell you whether or not this story, which
turned out to be utterly fake, was manufactured by historically-astute
public relations executives in collaboration with the Kuwaitis, who
had read World War I history and had learned how successful the German
atrocities against Belgian babies and nuns had been in getting public
opinion on the side of the allies and getting the United States into
that war.

Nobody at the hearing, no reporter said, "Nayirah, that is a terrible
story; I am on the verge of tears. But what did you do after you put
the babies on the floor to die? Did you call for help, did you try to
pick one up, what happened then?"

The most fundamental and most elementary questions that a reporter is
supposed to ask were not asked. Niyarah was a fantastic propaganda
success. Hill & Knowlton made a brilliant little video news release
out of it, which they beamed all over the world. It was on NBC Nightly
News and millions and millions of people saw this. My brother saw
Niyarah testify, and it brought him to tears. That was the beginning
of the campaign. The campaign had begun to "get legs" as we say in the
public relations and news business.
