Writing in the Daily Mirror, John Pilger identifies the root cause of the bloody bombing of the UN compound in Baghdad, which Washington and London have blamed this on ‘extremists from outside’.

While we are allowed to read internal e-mails in Whitehall, we can’t see the traffic between Blair and Bush that would reveal the biggest lie of all.

Blair and Straw dare to suggest that the millions who have rumbled the Bush gang are simply being “fashionably anti-American” – another desperate act by desperate men.

When Greg Dyke attacked American television’s cheerleading coverage of Iraq, how did he manage to keep a straight face? The BBC gave even less voice to opposition views.

Forget Hutton. He will not reveal what the US and UK authorities really don’t want you to know: that radiation illnesses caused by uranium weapons are now common in Iraq.

Even before the 2003 war, we were attacking Iraqi civilians with our inhumane economic sanctions. Yet where were the media protesting against this injustice?

Shareholders wanted the Mirror editor out long before the allegedly bogus photos. Does anyone care that the BBC and other papers fall for the hoaxes of US and UK rulers?

The war correspondent James Cameron was smeared as a “dupe of communism”. “When they call you a dupe,” he told me, “they’re really complaining that you are not their dupe”.

Writing in the Daily Mirror, John Pilger asks whether the latest inquiry called by Tony Blair – into the “failure of intelligence” – will turn out, like the Hutton inquiry, as a whitewash.

“Anti-Americanism” has long been a pejorative, used to denigrate critics of an imperial system. But it is the opposite, “Americanism”, which threatens a war on the world.
