It is being “reported” that the UN Committee Against Torture (CAT) is receiving reports that children are being tortured by the Syrian regime.
Reuters, the Associated Press, Voice of America, and other propaganda disseminating instruments are claiming that Syria is routinely torturing children and the reports are sure to spread to other “news” agencies across the false political spectrum in the next few hours.
As I read these articles I notice several things: Not only is there no link to the CAT report claiming Syria is torturing children, but many of them make the claim in the headlines of the articles then go on to offer absolutely nothing in terms of even quotes from the supposed report dealing with child torture. Take the Reuters Africa article as an example. Or the MSNBC story. Not a word actually from this alleged report about child torture to be found anywhere in the articles.
