U.S. forces behind deadly children bomb: Iraqi experts -
See the above link for stupid propaganda that Arab media is still prepared to promote. It's a worry.
By the way, although I initially thought this website was connected to Aljazeera TV, it seems not to be.
Anyway, this Aljazeera website even has a special area for conspiracy theories, where it would seem every possible rumour gets a run, without any serious commentary at all.
Are Arabs especially pre-disposed to believing rumour and conspiracy? Of course the West has its fair share of conspiracy nutters too; but it is distressing to see the websites like this (which, from its commercial advertising, looks at at least a little main-streamish) playing such a role in promoting damaging and ridiculous rumours.
