NPR covers for Rumsfeld, changes Schorr's criticism on air 12/11/04

Here's the letter I sent National Petroleum Radio:
>>>

On this morning's brief discussion between Scott Simon and Daniel Schorr about Defense Secretary Rumsfeld's response to a soldier questioning 'why they had to look for armor in junkyards,' I was outraged to hear Scott Simon interrupt Daniel Schorr's criticism of Rumsfeld's deceptive response by disputing what Schorr had just said and then deflect discussion towards supporting both the innocence and competence of Rumsfeld's prosecution of this illegal war.
--------------------------------------------
Schorr said "Rumsfeld's statement 'we go to war with the army we have, not the one we want' made no sense at all since this wasn't in response to Pearl Harbor but instead a war that had been anticipated and planned on since atleast January, 2001."

Simon jumped in and said "no, actually we haven't established that. Let's talk about their finding conditions on the ground to not be what they expected when they got there..."

Please tell Mr. Simon and the other so-called journalists at NPR that intent and planning to invade Iraq was a priority for George W. Bush (and the Project for a New American Century neo-cons who espouse a new American Global Empire and make up his administration) LONG before it was marketed to the public through people like Judith Miller at the New York Times and Scott Simon at NPR.

This fact has been confirmed by George W. Bush's own words in interviews before the coup of 2000, 'wacky conspiracy theorists' like former Treasury Secretary Paul O'Neill, and many many former administration and intelligence service insiders who are no longer in on this massive blood-for-oil scam perpetrated with the help of media disinformation from NPR, Fox News, ABC, CBS, NBC, and the rest.
CNN: O'Neill Claims Iraq Plans Before 9/11

The blood of more than 100,000 Iraqis and tens of thousands of young American soldiers is on your hands, too.

I won't support NPR financially and I'll encourage everyone I know to abstain from paying for your propaganda.

(Maybe you can all get jobs at the Iraqi Ministry of Disinformation. I'm sure you can all afford to pay for yor own body armor, unlike our troops.)
