LONDON'S WATER TO BE POISONED WITH RICIN: US celebrity sputters
Friday night on David Letterman, the peddling of fiction:
O'Reilly: "Do you know what Ansar al-Islam is? Do you know what that is? You don't. All right, I'm not saying this in a condescending way. I'm really not, okay? I'm not going to call you a bonehead or a pinhead, all right? Ansar al-Islam was the al-Qaeda affiliate in northern Iraq that tried to poison the British water supply with ricin. They operated with Saddam Hussein's okay. Again, complicated, but it isn't so black and white, Dave. It isn't 'We're a bad country, Bush is an evil liar.' That's not true."
The transcript is here.
O'Reilly had no idea what he was talking about. He was, in a manner of speaking, the bonehead he so deplores.
The facts were covered by me through the auspices of the respected think tank, GlobalSecurity.Org, here.
There was no information to the effect that London's water could be poisoned with ricin by al Qaeda.
A handful of castor seeds in the hands of one loner, Kamel Bourgass -- hardly the stuff which would make a city tremble -- were recovered by British anti-terror men.
Fox, along with every other major news organization in the United States, uses GlobalSecurity.Org on a daily basis. But they're only fond of the security information that fits their particular world view. If there's anything else in the daily bushel basket, forget it.
