Somebody tried to take advantage of this terrorist attack and committed acts of psychological warfare upon the American People. ABC, if you aren't going to reveal who the "Anthrax was from Iraq" sources are, you aren't protecting sources, you are protecting liars.
I agree with Greenwald and the increasing number of journalists that these 3 questions need to be asked of ABC.
But as the People, we should take it a step further, and boycott ABC until they reveal who these psychological terrorists are.
The Three Questions:
1. Sources who are granted confidentiality give up their rights when they lie or mislead the reporter. Were you lied to or misled by your sources when you reported several times in 2001 that anthrax found in domestic attacks came from Iraq or showed signs of Iraqi involvement?
2. It now appears that the attacks were of domestic origin and the anthrax came from within US government facilities. This leads us to ask you: Who were the "four well-placed and separate sources" who falsely told ABC News that tests conducted at Fort Detrick had found the presence of bentonite in the anthrax sent to senator Tom Daschle, causing ABC News to connect the attacks to Iraq in multiple reports over a five-day period in October, 2001?
3. A substantially false story that helps make the case for war by raising fears about enemies abroad attacking the US is released into public debate because of faulty reporting done by ABC News. How that happened and who was responsible is itself a major story of public interest. What is ABC News doing to re-report these events, to figure out what went wrong and to correct the record for the American people who were misled?
