The CBC & Lebanon

A letter sent to the CBC about its coverage of the unfolding situation in Lebanon.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Since the assassination of Lebanon's Prime Minister occured, I've listened patiently as your program has repeated Washington's unsubstantiated allegations that Syria, one of the Bush/PNAC Regime's pending targets, was responsible. This would not bother me, except that you are ignoring the other stated possibility, that either the CIA, or Israel's Mossad, or both, was responsible. Both the United States and Israel hope to profit from such a change in Lebanon, but not exactly the kind of change which will benefit the Lebanese.

I don't understand why the media as a whole has decided to ignore virtually the entire history of intelligence agencies engaging in such actions, in order to force political actions to occur. And although it's a hard topic to cover, in many ways, Israel is given a free pass in many such instances, and the benefit of the doubt, even though they have never earned such treatment.

As Syria's leader pointed out today, to commit such an act would have been "political suicide", and if today's "spontaneous" protests are any indicator, he was correct. Now Washington is making demands on the Syrian Government which sound ominously similar to those made of Iraq, as the US attempted to leverage a "justification" for military action from the situation.

And while your "Middle East Expert" of sort, Janice Stein mentioned that change may come "without the visible hand of America", somebody had to pay for all those flags.

I look forward to more insight into this story in the days ahead.

Thanks again,

Jordan Thornton

Ceci est un média alternatif de publication ouverte. Le collectif CMAQ, qui gère la validation des contributions sur le Indymedia-Québec, n'endosse aucunement les propos et ne juge pas de la véracité des informations. Ce sont les commentaires des Internautes, comme vous, qui servent à évaluer la qualité de l'information. Nous avons néanmoins une Politique éditoriale , qui essentiellement demande que les contributions portent sur une question d'émancipation et ne proviennent pas de médias commerciaux.

This is an alternative media using open publishing. The CMAQ collective, who validates the posts submitted on the Indymedia-Quebec, does not endorse in any way the opinions and statements and does not judge if the information is correct or true. The quality of the information is evaluated by the comments from Internet surfers, like yourself. We nonetheless have an Editorial Policy , which essentially requires that posts be related to questions of emancipation and does not come from a commercial media.
