Moyers: The Lies of Tonkin vs. The Lies of Iraq, and What's Up with PBS
Another must-read speech by Bill Moyers, one journalist who is not afraid to tell the truth and doesn’t try to hide it under “nice.”
Moyers
notes that, like the run-up to Iraq, intelligence leading to the Gulf
of Tonkin Resolution (that opened the way to massive escalation of the
Vietnam war) was faked–but not, he said, with LBJ’s knowledge. Moyers
was working in the White House at the time.
But then he looks at
the Bush II administration’s penchant for secrecy, for deception, for
rewarding its corporate cronies–and for interfering with the few
remaining institutions in journalism that have any backbone left–and
the results aren’t pretty.
Ethics in both business and government is crucial–and achievable. Visit Shel’s site, https://www.principledprofit.com, to learn more.
