The kidnapping of BBC correspondent Alan Johnson is tragic and it was sad to see his parents suffering. We have to ask who has been responsible for making jounalists into targets. It was the US who bombed the Serbian tv station during the Kosovo crisis and have bombed AL Jazeera offices in Kabul and Baghdad killing j0urnalists. In Iraq US and UK journalists are said to be embedded with the US army which, to me, sounds like a giant gay orgy. Thus journalists have been seen as part of the US propaganda machine and legitimate targets. After all the British hanged Lord Haw Haw after the war. The BBC churns out constant propaganda. Whatever Bush and Blair, both confirmed liars, say is broadcast without question but anything Russian is criticised. During the Beslan siege even as little children were being slaughtered BBC was trying to blame it on the Russian government and President Putin. It was cynical, cruel and nauseating.Whenever they show anything in India they will show some slum. Thus they may be broadcasting a report on the software industry but they will not show Infosis or Wipro offices but instead will show how some poor child somewhere is missing out. Alaan Johnson's parents should ask Bush and his poodle, Blair what has happened to him.
