In his latest column for the New Statesman, John Pilger compares the
current drum-beating for war against Iran, based on a fake "nuclear
threat", with the manufacture of a sense of false crisis that led to
invasion of Iraq and the deaths of 1.3 million people.
In 2001, the Observer in London published a series of reports that
claimed an Iraqi connection to al-Qaeda, even describing the base in
Iraq where the training of terrorists took place and a facility where
anthrax was being manufactured as a weapon of mass destruction. It
was all false. Supplied by US intelligence and Iraqi exiles, planted
stories in the British and US media helped George Bush and Tony Blair
to launch an illegal invasion which caused, according to the most
recent study, 1.3 million deaths.
