BBC Buys Google News Keywords In Kelly Case

foreign devil writes "BBC has purchased keywords related to coverage of the Hutton Inquiry in an attempt to direct all traffic to their special news coverage. This would be only moderately interesting, except the BBC is complicit in the death of Dr. Kelly and the 'sexing up' of the Iraq dossier. The article in the Guardian says this is coming out of the GBP 63.5m ad budget. I wonder how much it would cost them if someone, say, automated searching for those links on Google." It doesn't seem fair to pronounce the BBC complicit in Kelly's death (unless that's proven by the facts of the case), but it's certainly an interested party.

Its called historical fact. Documented, historical fact. Have you heard of Mexico, Korea, Afghanistan, Vietnam, Cambodia, Panama (and much of Central America)? Ask people that live in these places about US terrorism. Or even our very own Native Americans, hmm were we at "war" with them. Damn, too bad because apparently then we would have been totally justified in slaughtering entire races of people, to suit our greedy-ass ever expanding needs. I mean, we should have been at war, after all, they were living on OUR property and using OUR natural resources. Just like those damn Iraqi's holding all of our oil under their sand. And if you think this war was not about oil, then your head is in the sand. Read a book or two that you were not allowed to read in high school. Now, one can argue with the meaning of documented facts, but one cannot refute their existence. OK, whatever, one can do whatever the hell one wants, but it does tend to make one look silly and ignorant to deny what plainly exists.
