Bush would themselves have been put "in context". pics on terrorism Terrorism-causes-prevention. Unfortunately, the English-language media have for the most part failed to reveal just how vague are the assumptions that form the shallow foundations of this bizarre war, in which a superpower has been pitched against a concept; and it has failed even more miserably to note the gaping holes in its consequently unstable superstructure. Once upon a time, Western journalists used to ask their leaders difficult questions. Not any more. pics on terrorism Bin-laden-terrorist-attacks. Colin Powell can go on his tours to "shore up support", with all the sordid underhand wheeling and dealing and horse-trading so often entailed, and none of it is analyzed. Not one genuinely penetrating question has thus far been asked of Powell by the American media at his regular press briefings, which have the air of a military leader briefing his troops. America's (and Big Oil's) economic interests in executing this war - installing a puppet regime in Kabul will swiftly bring to fruition a massive pipeline project presently on hold but which will eventually channel natural gas and oil out of recently discovered fields in Central Asia through Afghanistan - has been overlooked in the midst of all the sentimental patriotic bonding, as have been the lies, inconsistencies and hypocrisy underpinning the ideological battle. pics on terrorism Causes-of-war-on-terrorism. We have forgotten that the American government was unwilling, and unable, to provide any conclusive evidence of Bin Laden's guilt, despite a promise from the Taleban that they would hand him over if it did so. And that Tony Blair was forced to admit that the evidence he himself presented would not stand up in a court of law. Now the Western media is routinely referring to Bin Laden as "the perpetrator", having casually dropped "prime suspect". Forgotten too is that the Sept. 11 attacks proved the FBI and CIA to be almost unfathomably incompetent, and how vulnerable Americans were left as a result - despite the billions of dollars of their taxes funding these "intelligence" organizations and the broader defense establishment. Ignored as well is that it took them two weeks to make available to their partners and colleagues in the American media industry the last will and testament of Muhammad Atta, alleged hijacker, whose curious decision to pack and check-in a suitcase before his suicide mission (did he plan on taking it to Paradise?) was matched only by the mystery of how, in the end, it never made it onto the plane - and why its contents were not revealed for two weeks.
