U
n day after the announcement of death Osama Bin Laden at the hands of U.S. troops, which occurred on Sunday, as U.S. President Barack Obama in the Pakistani city of Abbottabad-security adviser in the White House, John Brennan, said that, in accordance with Muslim practices and traditions, the remains of the alleged leader of Al Qaeda were thrown into the Arabian Sea . This statement complements the refusal of the security and intelligence officials of the Obama administration to report on the existence of evidence that could validate claims the U.S. government about the death of the alleged mastermind of the attacks of September 11, 2001.
dropper and fragmentary information that has been given so far about the event, and the absence of independent sources that allow corroborate what was said by the authorities of the neighboring country, there will inevitably perceive the operation of capture and killing of bin Laden as an exercise of justice or as an act of national security and counterterrorism, as Barak Obama himself said, "but as a propagandistic whose truth, moreover, can not be confirmed: more than 24 hours after Obama announced the killing of the alleged leader of Al Qaeda, still no data confirming that he was dead at the scene and time that authorities say Wa-shington, plus: there is not even evidence that the deceased was alive until yesterday, the last message attributed was recorded in January, "and now, apparently, there is no way to identify the body corresponds, in fact, Bin Laden.
handling of this specific event information is as reprehensible as that performed around their context: nearly 10 years since George W. Bush launched the war against terrorism and Al Qaeda built as the main threat to the security of this country and the world can not be determined for sure if that organization is still in force and in operation, or if its existence is an excuse for maintain a state of hysteria and paranoia in American society-and the West in general and to justify the continued U.S. military Middle East and central Asia.
Public opinion of the superpower looks like the choice between consistently wary of reporting their authorities or blindly believing in the version propagated by the White House and the Pentagon, in a circumstance that makes the right to information in an act of faith. It makes the U.S. media seem to have abandoned elementary considerations of journalism, as the need to verify the information submitted by the authorities and seek alternatives to official sources, instead, seem dedicated to playing the bulletins broadcasts its government, as was apparent in this episode.
The situation is particularly serious if one takes into account the history of lies and fallacies that dragged the U.S. authorities: this is evident not only with the deception used by George W. Bush to justify the invasion of Iraq or the concealment by Washington of the war crimes committed in the prisons of Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, and the networks of secret CIA flights, to name just two of the most ominous- but it is by comparing the electoral promises of the current president, who took office under the banner of change, but eventually yield to the logic of war, colonialism and unilateral than its predecessor.
Managing discretionary and opaque information that Washington has done on this and other episodes, in conjunction with the uncritical and submissive attitude of most Americans toward mainstream media version of the White House and the Pentagon canceled in advance any uncertainty that could taken on a matter no doubt painful and important to society in this country and to international public opinion. What we can see, the only thing which the two can be certain of is the extensive loss of material destruction and human lives caused by the war efforts of the United States and its allies in order to avenge alleged 11 victims September 2001.
