[Marxism] "the single greatest, unresolved media scandal of this decade"

[Eli Stephens]

Thanks very much for that post, which led to an extremely valuable and important 
article. I would like to add to what was posted here perhaps the most important 
paragraphs of the article, because they point to where this story needs to go 
from here - WHO was responsible for propagating the utterly false and without 
any foundation whatsoever story that Iraq was connected to the attacks, and, 
PERHAPS, who was behind the attacks in the first place (i.e., was this a wider 
conspiracy than just a "lone nut"?)?

ABC News already knows the answers to these questions. They know who concocted 
the false bentonite story and who passed it on to them with the specific intent 
of having them broadcast those false claims to the world, in order to link 
Saddam to the anthrax attacks and -- as importantly -- to conceal the real 
culprit(s) (apparently within the U.S. government) who were behind the attacks. 
And yet, unbelievably, they are keeping the story to themselves, refusing to 
disclose who did all of this. They're allegedly a news organization, in 
possession of one of the most significant news stories of the last decade, and 
they are concealing it from the public, even years later.

They're not protecting "sources." The people who fed them the bentonite story 
aren't "sources." They're fabricators and liars who purposely used ABC News to 
disseminate to the American public an extremely consequential and damaging 
falsehood. But by protecting the wrongdoers, ABC News has made itself complicit 
in this fraud perpetrated on the public, rather than a news organization 
uncovering such frauds. That is why this is one of the most extreme journalistic 
scandals that exists, and it deserves a lot more debate and attention than it 
has received thus far.
