Associated Press issued a story yesterday (Monday) entitled “Iran moves closer to nuke warhead capacity.” It was full of inaccurate and misleading information implying that Iran had admitted trying to enrich weapons-grade nuclear material. The story appeared on a wide variety of media.
Last night, Antiwar.com news editor Jason Ditz issued a story refuting the AP story.
It’s a re-run of the nonsense we experienced in regards to Iraq. Iran is going to purify Uranium up to 20% for medical reasons to treat cancer sufferers. It would need to be refined up to 90% for nukes. The problem is that these lies get repeated over and over and unfortunately some people believe it’s reality, especially in the USA.
Another aspect of the problem are the people who know better and silently applaud the brainwashing. When will those cowards finally come out of the closet and enter the public debate?
