  Mr. Greenwald,

  There are two words that explain the actions of the Media, and their revisionist accounting of historical fact: Operation Mockingbird. It is commonly known that the MSM, and most of the western media for that matter, is infiltrated by the security and intelligence apparatus. This is how the message to the public is manipulated.

  And Operation Gladio should be thought of, when we think about Mumbai, an attack that specifically targeted Westerners (Brits and Americans). False-flag attacks and tactics have been used with regularity to drive the people towards seeking more freedom from the state.

  One need look no further than the comments by former Italian President, Francesco Cossiga, as quoted here, http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2008/nov/24/comment

  "Maroni should do what I did when I was secretary of the interior. He should withdraw the police from the streets and the universities, infiltrate the movement with secret (provacateurs) agents, ready to do anything, and, for about 10 days, let the demonstrators devastate shops, set fire to cars and lay waste the cities. After which, strengthened by popular consent, the sound of ambulance sirens should be louder than the police cars. The security forces should massacre the demonstrators without pity, and send them all to hospital. They shouldn't arrest them, because the magistrates would release them immediately, but they should beat them up. And they should also beat up those teachers who stir them up. Especially the teachers. Not the elderly lecturers, of course, but the young women teachers."
