Oops, BBC: Iraq photo to illustrate Houla massacre?

Oops, BBC: Iraq photo to illustrate Houla massacre?

 

Published: 28 May, 2012, 18:23

 

With the shock of the Houla tragedy ringing across the world, the BBC has released a story with a harrowing picture of rows and rows of children's bodies awaiting burial… But isn’t that post-Saddam Iraq?

­Photographer Marco di Lauro who took the shot grabbed by the BBC says he nearly “fell off his chair” after finding the picture on the network’s website with a caption reading: “Photo from Activist. This image – which cannot be independently verified – is believed to show bodies of children in Houla awaiting funeral.

The picture was actually taken on March 27, 2003; it depicts an Iraqi boy jumping over dozens of white body bags containing skeletons found in a desert south of Baghdad. The image, which is published on Marco di Lauro’s website, is part of his story Iraq, the Aftermath of Saddam.

Ah yes, another example of the British Brainwashing Corporation's unique brand of " journalistic integrity"

Previous examples being:

September 11 2001 - Jane Standley reporting on the collapse of WTC Building 7 (Salomon Brothers Building) over twenty minutes before it fell at 17.20 EST on the afternoon of 9/11 - The BBC's propaganda division's damage control on this is laughable...

August 24 2011- BBC Breakfast presents footage of Indians bearing their own national flags and claiming it shows Libyan protestors in Green Square, Tripoli

"Destroying the New World Order"
