Americans, on the other hand, watch too much television. The Bush administration and other saber-rattlers took advantage of the eyes-open brain-shut power of the hypno-ray in the buildup to 1991's Persian Gulf War. Hill and Knowlton, a public relations firm, fabricated the story of Iraqi soldiers dumping Kuwaiti children out of hospital incubators, and even got the story before Congress. Even Amnesty International was suckered. The "witness" Nayirah was later revealed as the daughter of Sheik Saud Nasir Al-Sabah, Kuwait's Ambassador to America. Covert Action Quarterly (Spring 1993) discovered that Hill and Knowlton had been paid $11 million to conduct the campaign by the Citizens for a Free Kuwait. The same year, a joint British/Canadian news crew interviewed medical teams and visited Kuwaiti hospitals, and proved that the incubator story was false.
