What we must demand, and have a right to expect, is that senior general officers stand up to be counted. Here is their script: "I take full responsibility for this execrable act of indiscipline, illegality and immorality; for failing to ensure that the troops under my command were adequately prepared; for creating a climate that inadvertently encouraged such behavior. Accordingly, I hereby relinquish my command and stand ready to face the consequences for my subordinates' actions." |

WCIA, CBS Channel 3 in Champaign is one of the stations implicated in broadcasting fake U.S. government news releases disguised as actual news, or what are commonly known as video news releases (VNRs).
"VNRs are worse than bad journalism. They are a gross and deliberate failure by TV stations to meet their obligations to the local community, and to abide by long-standing Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations. Just last April, the FCC unanimously issued a notice stating, 'Whenever broadcast stations and cable operators air VNRs, licensees and operators generally must clearly disclose to members of their audiences the nature, source and sponsorship of the material.'" |

While it's desirable that the foreign ministers talk about Iran, they don't seem to devote any thought to the fact that there are still some 27,000 real nuclear weapons in the United States, Russia and other states, and that many of these are on hair-trigger alert.
Nor do the ministers seem to realize that the determination they express to reduce the nuclear threat is diminished by their failure to take seriously their commitment, made within the framework of the NPT, to move toward the reduction and elimination of their own nuclear arsenals. |
