Ain’t it about time something went her way?
Update: Sibel informs me that she will be accepting the award on behalf of all the National Security
Whistle Blowers.
Howard Kaloogian, California congressional candidate and co-founder of Move America Forward, gets
busted passing off a photo of Istanbul as evidence of a bloodless, bustling Baghdad. Kaloogian pleads
confusion (scroll down to actual Baghdad photo, apparently taken by the Cassini-Huygens probe).
The latest news from us here at Balkanalysis.com concerns a subtle bit of pro-intervention propaganda
detected recently:
“Although they are small, for students of propaganda the images that emerge when one selects various
topic headings on the Hague Tribunal’s official website speak volumes about the international court’s
slick PR and ingrained biases.
The overall perception one gets from the selection of photos is that of a rock-solid institution,
presided over by learned and morally unassailable judges, trying war criminals who are little more than
modern-day Nazis. As such, the Hague’s reputation as the sober, dispassionate arbiter of genocide is
upheld.
