Propaganda or fact? Aljazeera is of course flipping out about the whole thing, but the facts really look like this is propaganda at it's worst. (The Aljazeera piece has a gory picture, so skip if you have a week stomach.) From CSM:
QandO goes into some pretty good discussion on the topic as well. Mainly commentary with data. It's more convincing than other commentary I've found. They go into detail about the use of WP and what it actually does.
It will be interesting to see where the facts of all of this runs in the end.
RAI, the all news state-run satellite channel in Italy, aired a documentary Tuesday that accused the United States of using chemical weapons against the civilian population during a November 2004 bombardment of Fallujah. AKI, the Italian news agency, reports that the documentary, entitled "Fallujah: The Hidden Massacre" and aired on the first aniversary of the assault on insurgents in Fallujah, includes interviews with former US soldiers and with residents of Fallujah who say that during the assault on the city the US military used the chemical white phosphorus.The article is pretty good at providing fact with little commentary.
