Taliban inflated figures of bombing casualtie
Anonym - 13.06.2002 12:56

reporters for the Taliban news service describe
how they were ordered to inflate figures of civilian casualties


 http://www.latimes.com/news/printedition/asection/la-000039059jun03.story

Former reporters for the Taliban news service describe how they
were ordered to inflate figures of civilian casualties from the
U.S. bombing of Afghanistan. Casualty estimates today still range
from a low of 1,000 to a high of around 3,000. Some of the former
Taliban reporters are still at work, now for the new government.
Mohammed Ismail Qanay "keeps a photo of himself from his days as a
reluctant co-conspirator in the Taliban´s propaganda factory, when
he was required to wear the tunic and pantaloons, a turban and a
flowing beard. Qanay is now cleanshaven, bare-headed and wears a
gray pinstripe suit. He still covers the war and its aftermath. His
dispatches are edited, he said, but they are no longer distorted or
entirely rewritten. ´The government is our boss, and the government
still decides what the news is,´ Qanay said. ´Our only orders are
to try to tell the truth.´" (Of course, that´s probably what he
would have said when the Taliban was giving the orders.)

3000? 
Jan M.D. Pet - 13.06.2002 14:33

Goh, maximaal 3000 doden maar? Dan is het slechts nog maar een klein beetje erger dan de aanslagen van 11 september, dat scheelt alweer!

is deze Amerikaanse propaganda het wel waard om geplaatst te worden? Het druipt er van af.

ageren tegen een nieuwsbericht omdat het uit amerika komt geeft geen blijk van open geesten, geen blijk van bereidheid te kijken naar de inhoud van het bericht en erbij stil te staan.
als dit artikel waar is, is dat juist iets om te plaatsen op een website die is opgericht om onafhankelijke, vrij meningsuiting en nieuwsverspreiding mogelijk te maken. het gaat immers om censuur.


Juist 
Phreakmeister - 14.06.2002 22:03

Juist Sjaak. Jij hebt de keutel tenminste bij het schone end.
OK, het staat in een Amerikaanse krant. Dus is het meteen onbetrouwbaar? Degenen die hier geciteerd worden bezitten m.i. inside-information over de verhouding tussen Taliban an de media.

What a load if shite. Anyone who believes political commentary from the LA Times should have her/his head examined.
