TvNewsLIES Headline News

TVNL Editor's Comments: What ever happened to those Downing Street meeting minutes? Remember them? Those were the little documents (evidence) that showed how the Bush/PNAC administration intended on fixing (fabricating or manipulating) evidence against Iraq that so that their pre-planned invasion and occupation of Iraq would gain support.

I guess with all the important things going on today the news media does not have time to report trivial news items, like having a presidential administration lie so that they can start a war that destabilized a region of the world and raise global tensions to levels unseen since World War II. I’d rather learn about a single police brutality event in New Orleans. Goodness knows that we need to see the video of the brutal assault over and over. We would not want to interfere with that by wasting time on such trivial issues like starting a war based on lies! Think about it! – Jesse, Editor, TvNewsLIES.org

· UK agrees to pay for Basra damage - The UK Government is willing to pay compensation for the casualties and damage caused in Iraq when two British undercover soldiers were freed.
TVNL Comment: "Two British undercover soldiers were freed"? Don't you think that the article text should mention that they were BROKEN OUT OF JAIL AFTER BEING ARESTED? A bit deceiving, wouldn't you say?

· Taliban rebels ambush police convoy, kill 19 - Southern Afghanistan attack, gunbattle is deadliest in months

· Traumatised young Iraqis turn increasingly to hard drugs - The Ministry of Health has warned that drug abuse is rising steadily among men and women of all ages in Iraq, especially in the capital Baghdad and in the south of the country.
TVNL Comment: Who's better off without Saddam?

· Danish PM faces Iraq war lawsuit - They contend that the prime minister breached the constitution on two counts, taking the country to war without a United Nations Security Council resolution, and devolving sovereignty over Danish troops to a foreign power without the necessary constitutional authority.

· The Iraq Insurgency; A War Profiteer’s Dream Come True! - The companies making money from the prolonged insurgency are owned by friends of Rumsfeld, Cheney and the members of the Bush administration. You can trace many of the war bucks to members of Congress as well. A prolonged insurgency is a dream come true for these war profiteers. Is it any wonder that the entire operation was handled so poorly and that no effort was make to keep the peace once we went it? Is it any wonder why there was never even a plan to keep the peace? Actually there was a plan…it was to prevent peace.

POLITICS : http://www.tvnewslies.org/news#politics

· Libby Did Not Tell Grand Jury About Key Conversation - In two appearances before the federal grand jury investigating the leak of a covert CIA operative's name, Lewis (Scooter) Libby, the chief of staff to Vice President Cheney, did not disclose a crucial conversation that he had with New York Times reporter Judith Miller in June 2003 about the operative, Valerie Plame, according to sources with firsthand knowledge of his sworn testimony.

· Lawyers say investigation into CIA leak widens to probe 'broader conspiracy' around Iraq - Lawyers familiar with the investigation believe that at least part of the outcome likely hangs on the inner workings of what has been dubbed the White House Iraq Group. Formed in August 2002, the group, which included Messrs. Rove and Libby, worked on setting strategy for selling the war in Iraq to the public in the months leading up to the March 2003 invasion. The group likely would have played a significant role in responding to Mr. Wilson's claims.

· Cheney's Halliburton stock options rose 3,281% last year, senator finds - Cheney told "Meet the Press" in 2003 that he didn't have any financial ties to the firm. “Since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest," the Vice President said. "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years.”
TVNL Comment: Blatant lies and war profiteering. Any questions?

· Cheney spokesman departs country as CIA leak investigation wraps up - The chief spokesman for Vice President Dick Cheney, Steve Schmidt, left the United States Oct. 3 and won't return until Oct. 26, well after the investigation into who outed a covert CIA agent wraps up, RAW STORY has confirmed.

· A Man Called "Scooter" - Who is Lewis "Scooter" Libby? Most of the media reports on the Plame scandal report that he is Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide, but focus more attention on Karl Rove, the president's top advisor. But, in fact, Libby is more than Cheney's top aide. Indeed, a closer examination indicates that Libby may be more powerful than Rove. His ability to remain largely unknown has been a key to his efficacy. Let's take a closer look.

They're from 18 U.S.C. 793 [*], the Espionage Act.
