Letters from NYC

 

 

An international Gallup poll

( http://www.gallup-international.com/terrorismpoll_figures.htm) showed :

 

A full 32 out of 35 countries (the US, Israel and

India in opposition) favored a criminal justice

response, rather than military action, in response to

the terrorist attack on America.

 

The numbers were clear: 67%-88% in NATO/Western

countries and 83%-94% in Latin America favoring a

non-military approach.

 

Surprisingly, 30% of US respondents also supported

this option even though US corporate media

consistently ignores it.

 

France had the highest support for military action of

the European countries with 30%. Britain 18. Greece

with 8%.

 

All of the European countries were well above 60% in

support of extradition to stand trial.

 

It would be surprising and welcome if any of the

corporate media in the US reported this.

 

No doubt if the results were the opposite every single

corporate media outlet would carry it.

 

Once agendas are set, only approved "facts" are

selected instead of the other way around.

 

So much for a reasoned approach.
