U.S., British bombing on Iraq<\/p>\n
I refer to The Jakarta Post's front page coverage of
\nterrorist bombings in Sunday's edition (Feb. 18). One of the
\narticles (U.S.,British aircraft strike near Baghdad) was
\nespecially interesting. There is only one thing the Post didn't
\ndo, and should have done: check with Iraqi authorities if the
\nradars hit were, as I suspect, civilian radar installations
\nserving Iraq's growing international civil air traffic, or if
\nthis was a terrorist attack against the Iraqi military.<\/p>\n
The Post should try to give it's readers both sides of a
\nstory, and in this case we could only read what the terrorists
\nhad to say. How about the victims? President Bush's statement
\n"Our intention is to ensure that the world is as peaceful as
\npossible," (by delivering bombs all over the world at his
\nliberty) is a shining example of Orwellian double-talk. But
\nagain, the question of fair reporting: do Iraqi authorities have
\nanything to say?<\/p>\n
