MCGEOUGH SAID IT, I BELIEVE IT, THAT SETTLES IT

Sydney Morning Herald reader Lee Duncan is convinced by Paul McGeough’s Allawi-the-assassin story:

I saw Paul McGeough's account of the Allawi allegations on ABC Lateline last Friday night. Then I read the comprehensive report on Saturday. The integrity of his reporting shone through in both accounts. I would trust McGeough's "intelligence" over Bush or Howard's any day.

His intelligence is undisputed. It’s Paul’s eyesight you’ve got to worry about. Znet’s Tom Engelhardt believes a media conspiracy is denying McGeough’s story to US citizens:

Neither the Los Angeles Times, nor the New York Times, nor the Washington Post has yet mentioned it. Perhaps as part of the "truce" our media seems to have struck with the Bush administration since the "transition," no one seems to be rushing to report such stories.

Roger L. Simon and Winds of Change won’t be silenced, however. Especially on the crucial Alice Cooper angle.

OT, but has anyone noticed that the newly appointed Governor of Tasmania has been deathly silent since the Butler report and the Senate Intelligence Report were released?

Perhaps as a result of our media being burned once (or ten times) too often, no one seems to be rushing to report such stories.

Oh My God, is McGeough the only reporter left who hasn't been silenced by 'them'? Is he the only one we have left who will provide us with the truth??

It's indeed a sad day when the NY Times, LA Times, and Wash. Post don't run a story like this. There is only one explanation => they have been silenced.

The left and far right have been warning us that the Patriot Act would cause us to lose our liberties. They must be right. The proof is right here: they have suppressed the 'Iraqi PM is a Ba'athist Assassin' story.

Enough proof for me we are fast losing our liberties in the US!!

Any US citizen who believes like I do .. head for Cuba. Don't wait for me. Go along ahead and I'll see you there sometime. We'll be safe in that worker's paradise.

You weren't being a little sarcastic were you Chris?lmfao.

I wonder if McGeogh has heard of the term 'Burden of Proof'?
