War in Libya: The Killing Fields of Misurata

War in Libya: The Killing Fields of Misurata: "Don't believe us? Well, have you seen any photos of civilians shot by 'Gaddafi's Army'? Of the so-called massacres? Have you? No, because they don't exist. If they did, you would see them day in and night out on CNN, BBC, Jazeera and Al-Arabiya.

But you have surely seen the massacres with all the live footage recorded and photographs in Bahrain right? No? Oh yes, you haven't, because the BBC etc refuses to show them. But thanks to Mathaba you can see those, in horrifying detail. But no call for the dictatorship of Bahrain supported by the Saudi dictatorship, to restrain themselves, let alone to face trial or be deposed, nor for democracy, nor is there any NATO bombing to 'protect' civilians there."

Worse yet, the four were allotted separate recess hours and were driven to and from school separately. Such action has been labeled by observers as “apartheid.”"

  1 Million Dead in Iraq? 6 Reasons the Media Hide the True Human Toll of War -- And Why We Let Them    :      Information Clearing House: ICH By John Tirman July 20, 2011 "Alternet" - - As the U.S. war in Iraq winds down, we are entering a familiar phase, the season of forgetting—forgetting the harsh realities of the war. Mostly we forget the victims of the war, the Iraqi civilians whose lives and society have been devastated by eight years of armed conflict. The act of forgetting is a social and political act, abetted by the American news media. Throughout the war, but especially now, the minimal news we get from Iraq consistently devalues the death toll of Iraqi civilians. Why? A number of reasons are at work in this persistent evasion of reality. But forgetting has consequences, especially as it braces the obstinate right-wing narrative of “victory” in the Iraq war. If we forget, we learn nothing. I’ve puzzled over this habit of reaching for the lowest possible estimates ...
