Media Watch — afternoon edition
June 13th, 2008 by Anthony Salveggi in Random ActsFrom CIA secret prisons to the Bush administration’s “secret plan” to stay in Iraq, Huffington Post has the news the mainstream media forgot to report.
According to Cockburn, the U.S. is “holding hostage some $50 billion of Iraq’s money in the Federal Reserve Bank of New York to pressure the Iraqi government into signing” the plan, under which U.S. troops “would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law” for years to come.
And the Washington Post lays out what’s at stake in this year’s presidential election:
Differences over Iraq policy are among the sharpest distinctions between the two U.S. presidential contenders. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) advocates continuing the current strategy, with no timetable for the withdrawal of what are likely to be about 133,000 troops remaining in Iraq by the November election. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has said he would begin an immediate withdrawal of combat troops, to be completed within 16 months.
