Media Manipulation

PR agency Hill & Knowlton in 1990 launched a recording of Nayirah, a 15-year-old Kuwaiti girl, which later turned out to be a daughter of the Kuwaiti ambassador to the US. The girl recounted that she had watched Iraqi soldiers remove babies from their incubators in a Kuwaiti hospital after the occupation of Kuwait, letting the babies die on the cold hospital floor. The account was broadcast on all major TV stations and referred to by American politicians supporting the resolution to give President Bush power to use American forces in Kuwait. After the Gulf War, no witnesses could be found to verify the account ï¿½ even Amnesty International had to issue a retraction of its 1990 report on Iraqi human rights violation in occupied Kuwait.
