Great post! This is the first I heard that the "Iraq Civil Rights Group" that fed the "massacre" story to the useful idiots at TIME was a new "organization" and had only two members. LOL!

Obviously, the reason they "delayed" breaking the story was because the story hadn't been fully scripted and convincingly choreographed yet, and because they wanted to make sure the story got planted with an especially dull, hate-America-first a-hole like the one they found at TIME.

It's even worse than that.

When time first "broke" this story, in May they claimed that the tape had been given to them by Human Rights Watch. (Which, whatever you might think of them, at least is an established group.)

Then, after the story got traction, Time slipped in a slight retraction (buried way down at the bottom of one of their follow-up pieces). They said that the group was Hammurabi, but that they were involved with Human Rights Watch.

Only now does Time admit (again, in buried corrections) that this two man upstart group has NOTHING to do with Human Rights Group.

But they used that lie long enough to give his highly suspect story additional credibility.

That's how our one party media works.
