Rather than address individually the many blatant misrepresentations Pilger promotes in "The New Rulers of the World," I encourage readers to independently verify his claims.For example, Pilger cites Professor Rokke (a US army physicist "responsible for cleaning up Kuwait" after the Gulf War) as claiming that the use of depleted uranium is "a form of nuclear warfare," while attempting to argue that depleted uranium is the cause for an apparently disturbing increase in cancer rates among the Iraqi population in Basra. Unfortunately, these claims have absolutely no basis in reality, and a quick trip to the World Heath Organization's Website quickly confirms this...That Pilger would so blatantly lie and distort the facts in a fanatical attempt to impose his ideological view on his readership is, at the very least, a form of journalistic malpractice. Remember dear readers: Although governments do lie, so, unfortunately, do journalists.
