WHY NOW PUBLISH THE VIDEO OF IRAQIS BEING BEATEN BY BRITISH SOLDIERS?

During the last two weeks we have seen riots in some Arab states and arson attacks on some European embassies. This was a result of the publication of some cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed.

Yesterday a video of some British soldiers beating Iraqi civilians, one of them apparently beaten into unconciousness, was released. The News of the World claims credit for bringing this video to light. It was shown all over the Arabic world all day yesterday.

The News of the World is part of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, along with The Sun. TNoTW says it was shown the video by a "disgusted whistleblower".

WHEN?

The video of this sick event was taken nearly two years ago. The Sunday Times, another News Corp paper, asked yesterday;
One of the key mysteries is how such a film could exist and be shown to military personnel for two years without the obvious crimes depicted being reported to the authorities.

How could this video be used by those who want war?

For a start Murdoch's papers were at the front of the propaganda for war on Iraq.

But what if this starts more insurgent operations in Iraq, particularly in the South where the British are in control.

Will the attacks in the new insurgency be blamed on Iran?

And will this increase the likelihood of war on Iran?

At the very least this video will not help the relations between Islam and the West. Just when some calm and rationale was required a paper owned by Zionist Murdoch pours more oil onto the fire.

The timing of the release of this video is highly suspicious.
