... ek het jou (gewoonlik silly) reaksies bietjie dopgehou en na die
inhoud gekyk en weet jy wat? Jy is glad nie "naby aan my" nie.
Jou reaksies en menings pas in die joernalistieke omgewing soos 'n
draadkar in 'n grand prix.
Jy het duidelik geen insig eers in hoe 'n koerant werk nie, laat staan
nog die intellektuele omgewing wat dit skep.
So, sorry ou Klipdrif-suiger, jy's uitgevang.
Nie aleen 'n dik lafaard nie, maar ook 'n liegbek, he?
The Corporations That Supplied Iraq's Weapons Program
Even before Iraq released its weapons-program dossier on 7 December
2002, it was said that the report would name the corporations that
supplied Iraq with the equipment and other material it needed to
develop biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons. Soon after the
report was released, those suspicions were confirmed. Sources who had
seen the report said that it identified suppliers from the US, UK,
Germany, France, China, and elsewhere.
Now, that part of the report has been leaked. The leftist German daily
newspaper Die Tageszeitung received portions of the original,
uncensored 12,000-page dossier. (The names of the corporations have
been blacked out of the version of the report given to the ten
non-permanent members of the Security Council.) The paper has printed
the list, presented below.
[read more about the leak at the Independent (London) Financial Times,
the Guardian (London), and the Associated Press (the only US news
outlet to touch the story, albeit in an unrevealing article)]
