De Standaard neemt V.S.-propaganda (weer eens) klakkeloos over

Stukje van een getuigenis uit Irak, daterend van 16 april:

"What the people of Fallujah know is that retaliatory murder has been committed on a massive scale. Approximately 800 dead and three times that injured and after twelve days the siege and attack is still not ended. 20 000 top US marines backed by tanks, helicopters, F15s and F16s raining tons of missiles and cluster bombs on a civilian and virtually defenceless population. What was the crime, we should ask, of six-year-old Ahmed, blown to pieces along with his father and uncle as they sat in their home in a quiet residential area, or the crime of his cousin, four-year-old Ali, also killed in his home, or of Yassin, another cousin, aged six, who had his leg sliced off and his father killed, or the boy and his mother who were shot point blank in the head as they were climbing into an ambulance? - Just a few examples of the hundreds of children maimed or dead. If you want mass graves, look no further than Fallujah stadium or the gardens filling up with corpses, often six bodies to a grave, or to the streets where dogs tear at the bodies that Americans have not allowed people to collect."
