Further evidence of media complicity in Bush's war

The headline on CNN's web page right now is "Purported bin Laden tape backs Iraqis". This is called lying with the truth. bin Laden did express support for the Iraqi people. But he also condemned Sadaam Hussein's Baath party as "infidels". Assuming this tape is real, and Powell was acting this morning like it was, then this is almost proof positive that bin Laden does not support Sadaam Hussein. Yet CNN does not report that in its headline. Instead it leaves the deceptive statement that "bin Laden backs Iraqis". This leaves the casual reader with the impression that bin Laden is supporting Hussein against the United States. CNN wants its war!
