In response, America's media mock the carnage, calling Gaddafi's reports propaganda. Notably on June 6, New York Times writer John Burns sounded more like a Pentagon press agent than reporter headlining, "Libya Stokes Its Machine Generating Propaganda," saying:
"The Libyan government has a growing record of improbable statements and carefully manipulated news events, but (after four months of conflict, it's) showing signs of desperation and disorganization. The loyalist locker seems increasingly bare."
In fact, McKinney and independent journalists say sustained bombings don't hit empty spaces. They kill innocent civilians daily, Washington slaughtering them for another imperial conquest and its spoils once hostilities end, something Burns and other corporate types airbrush from reports, effectively endorsing their crimes. As a result, McKinney asked:
"What were you doing" on June 7? "The people of Tripoli endure the trauma of repeated bombings in their immediate environment." Many don't survive, nor are they immune from large areas contaminated with toxic depleted uranium because NATO bombs, missiles and and shells proliferate it daily.
In fact, in the 24-hour period alone from June 7 - 8, over 60 sorties struck Tripoli night and day, terrorizing and contaminating wide areas. At least 31 were killed, dozens wounded, targeting homes, hospitals, schools, government buildings and Gaddafi's compound again or close to it.
Yet according to AP, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen asked member states for more help, saying they haven't participated to their full potential. He wants those who've contributed least to use "assets at their disposal" to inflict greater punishment than so far caused, no matter how lawless and indefensible, perhaps aiming to turn all targeted areas into rubble, including the capital, no matter the body count to achieve it.
Bogus Humanitarian Intervention
Orchestrated and controlled by Washington, innocent Iraqis, Afghans, Pakistanis, and now Libyans are being slaughtered under the bogus "humanitarian intervention (HI)" doctrine.
