USA und die deutschen Medien

[MarcG]

Back in 1999, major papers ran front-page investigative stories revealing that the CIA had covertly used U.N. weapons inspectors to spy on Iraq for the U.S.'s own intelligence purposes. "United States officials said today that American spies had worked undercover on teams of United Nations arms inspectors," the New York Times reported (1/7/99). According to the Washington Post (3/2/99), the U.S. "infiltrated agents and espionage equipment for three years into United Nations arms control teams in Iraq to eavesdrop on the Iraqi military without the knowledge of the U.N. agency." Undercover U.S. agents "carried out an ambitious spying operation designed to penetrate Iraq's intelligence apparatus and track the movement of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein, according to U.S. and U.N. sources," wrote the Boston Globe (1/6/99).

Wenn man die deutschen Nachrichten hört, wird immernoch gesagt: Der Irak wies die Inspektoren aus, weil sie angeblich für die USA spionierten. (siehe auch verschiedene Posts zu diesem Thema in letzter Zeit, nicht die von mir)

Liegt das jetzt an mir oder stimmt da was mit der Berichterstattung in D-Land nicht:confused:
