Leaving This One at the Top

Posted by Bill

A stunning example of media deception, if true:

The FBI translator who supplied the 12 hours of Saddam Hussein audiotapes excerpted by ABC's "Nightline" Wednesday night now says the network discarded his translations and went with a less threatening version of the Iraqi dictator's comments.
"What you heard on ABC News was their translation," former U.N. weapons inspector Bill Tierney told ABC Radio's Sean Hannity on Thursday.

"They came up with something different on a key element regarding terrorism in the United States," Tierney insisted.

In the "Nightline" version of the 1996 recording, Saddam predicts that Washington, D.C., would be hit by terrorists. But he adds that Iraq would have nothing to do with the attack.

Tierney says, however, that what Saddam actually said was much more sinister. "He was discussing his intent to use chemical weapons against the United States and use proxies so it could not be traced back to Iraq," he told Hannity.

In a passage not used by "Nightline," Tierney says Saddam declares: "Terrorism is coming. ... In the future there will be terrorism with weapons of mass destruction. What if we consider this technique, with smuggling?"

Again, if verified, I'd say that this deserves some serious attention from the blogosphere.

(Via AoS)

UPDATE: Via commenter Foster, it looks like Tierney may be a bit ... friggin' wacked. The ostensible "full" Hussein translations are due out soon, so I guess I'll still take a (skeptical) wait and see approach, despite Tierney's, er, alleged barking mad insanity:

Tierney's methods of ascertaining this location were rather unconventional. "I would ask God and just get a sense if something was valid or not, and then know if I needed to pursue it," he said. His assessments through prayer were then confirmed to him by a friend's clairvoyant dream, where he was able to find the location on a map. "Everything she said lined up. This place meets the criteria," Tierney said of a power generator plant near the Tigris River that he believes is actually a cover for a secret uranium facility.

Between this guy and Scott Ritter, where do they find these UN Weapons Inspectors?

To what avail? The lie is in Cancun, sitting comfortably on the beach sipping a Malibu Rum and pineapple drink with a frilly umbrella while the truth hasn't even managed its morning constitutional.

This is why they rushed to get the tape out - they
controlled the narative.

The lefties at work are already yammering on how proof positive this is and demanding impeachment. Then again, last week when we got an unseasonably heavy rainfall, they were screaming for impeachment too, so I should probably take that with a grain of salt.

So did CBS News.

Grain of salt? To me the MSM is like a margarita--so the rims of my reading glasses are always heavily salted. Can't get the lime to stick, though.

Holy possible altered quotes, Batman. It would be interesting to go back through older important stories that depend on translation and see if there's any funny business.

You mean, like this?

(though that's a much more subjective example than what I've linked in today's post)

Guys, Tierney is one batshit-crazy motha'-jumpa.

"where do they find these UN Weapons Inspectors?"

Probably the same place �Move On� finds their donors.

I recall K-Mart having a bluelight special on weapons inspectors around 1990-91ish. They were right next to the FBI: Female Body Inspector hats.

what are the comment rules here? I keep getting denied, no matter how innocuous my post is.
Is there like, a two-cuss minimum here, or something?

Something is wrong with the comments, happening to me too.

My life's been bland. I've basically been doing nothing to speak of, but what can I say? Not that it matters. Eh. Such is life.
Not much on my mind lately, but that's how it is. My life's been dull these days, but such is life. I haven't been up to much recently.
I haven't gotten anything done. Shrug. I've pretty much been doing nothing worth mentioning. So it goes.

Posted by: biggest cock at January 5, 2007 01:51 PM

Not much on my mind right now. Today was a complete loss. So it goes. I've just been sitting around waiting for something to happen. I've basically been doing nothing , but I guess it doesn't bother me.
I haven't been up to much these days. Such is life. I've just been letting everything happen without me these days, but I don't care.
I can't be bothered with anything lately, but that's how it is. Nothing seems important, but what can I say? Shrug.
