An Interview with
John Pilger
"They
Put the Lie to Their Own Propaganda"
By ANTHONY ARNOVE
John Pilger is a veteran journalist and documentary
filmmaker. In a career that spans more than three decades, he
has reported from the scenes of some of the U.S. government's
most terrible war crimes--from Vietnam and Southeast Asia, to
the frontline states attacked by apartheid South Africa, to Palestine
and Iraq in the Middle East.
In his new documentary, Breaking the
Silence: Truth and Lies in the War on Terror, Pilger demolishes
the case for going to war on Iraq as it was put forward by George
W. Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair. In particular,
Pilger uncovered videotape footage from 2001 of Secretary of
State Colin Powell and National Security Adviser Condoleezza
Rice admitting the truth--that Iraq wasn't a military threat
and had not developed weapons of mass destruction since the first
Gulf War a decade before. The documentary premiered on British
television in September. Pilger's most recent book, The
New Rulers of the World, is a collection of several essays
that was updated and expanded to take up George W. Bush's "war
on terror."
Here, Pilger talks about why the U.S.
went to war--and why its colonial occupation is in crisis.
Anthony Arnove: In your new documentary,
you expose evidence that Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice knew
that Iraq was not a threat. Can you describe this evidence?
John Pilger:
It' there in their own words. I found some extraordinary archive
footage in the middle of looking at hours of the Bush gang's
pronouncements, which I used in Breaking the Silence.
In Cairo, Egypt, on February 24, 2001,
Powell said: "He [Saddam Hussein] has not developed any
significant capability with respect to weapons of mass destruction.
He is unable to use conventional power against his neighbors."
This, of course, is the very opposite of what Bush and Blair
told their respective peoples.
Powell even boasted that it was the U.S.
policy of "containment" that had effectively disarmed
the Iraqi dictator--again, the opposite of what Bush and Blair
said time and again. On May 15, 2001, Powell went further and
said that Saddam Hussein had not been able to "build his
military back up or to develop weapons of mass destruction"
for "the last 10 years." America, he said, had been
successful in keeping him "in a box."
Two months later, Condoleezza Rice also
described a weak, divided and militarily defenseless Iraq. "Saddam
does not control the northern part of his country," she
said. "We aim to keep his arms from him. His military forces
have not been rebuilt."
So here were two of Bush's most important
officials putting the lie to their own subsequent propaganda.
Arnove: Now that the war is over,
how does Tony Blair's "dossier" on Iraq's weapons of
mass destruction program hold up to scrutiny?
Pilger:
It's a laughing stock. Part of it was plagiarized from an American
student's PhD thesis. Even his spelling mistakes were used, and
terms like "opposition groups" were changed to "terrorist
groups." This is seriously incompetent lying. The rest of
the dossier has been refuted by Blair's senior intelligence officials,
even his own chief of staff, in appearances before the Hutton
Inquiry.
Arnove: Have you found any information
regarding the claim that Iraq was linked to al-Qaeda?
Pilger:
None. Indeed, my two best sources for this are the president
of the United States and his defense secretary, who within days
of each other in September dismissed the very notion that Iraq
and al-Qaeda were linked. This is the measure of their cynicism.
Lie to the nation and the world, so that a majority of Americans
believe you, then quietly refute it. Looking at all the reports,
there is no evidence even now that al-Qaeda is in Iraq. They
may well be there, but, like the weapons of mass destruction,
there is no evidence.
Arnove: What do you think about the
Bush administration's claims that the resistance to its occupation
of Iraq comes from "foreign terrorists."
Pilger:
How ironic it is when American officials speak about "foreign
fighters" attacking Americans? It is as if Americans are
Iraqis, or that Iraqis don't exist.
As Robert Fisk has pointed out, there
are 200,000 foreign fighters in Iraq, and 146,000 wear U.S. uniforms.
There may well be other foreign fighters in Iraq. The Anglo-American
invasion was an assault on the Arab world, and I would not be
surprised to see an ad hoc pan-Arab resistance. The French Resistance
was assisted by foreigners, notably the British, and terrible
things happened. There is no difference. The propaganda now is
aimed at obfuscating the truth of a nationalist resistance.
Like it or not, to many Iraqis, Saddam
Hussein embodied a certain nationalism, and the so-called "Saddam
remnants" are nationalists. This is such a proud society,
and not as divided tribally as some Western commentators would
like us to believe.
The occupation does have parallels with
Vietnam, but the closest likeness is the Soviet disaster in Afghanistan.
And it really hasn't begun in earnest yet. That will happen when
the Shia make their move.
I understand that a Shia army is quietly
forming; they have a tradition of patience, and they will wait
for their moment, just as they did under the Shah in Iran. The
occupation and Bush are in deep trouble.
Arnove: Why do you think the corporate
media, especially in the U.S., has been so slow to report this
evidence of government deceit and distortion?
Pilger:
The corporate media is an extension of the state. That is a truism,
which is almost never taught at media schools. Look back on the
reporting of the McCarthy period; read the papers, listen to
the radio archives. With honorable exceptions, there is an uncanny
echo of today. For most of his rise, McCarthy's bile was channeled
and amplified by the mainstream media.
Even the great Edward R. Murrow waited
until 1954 before denouncing McCarthy, who was then beginning
to fade. It was only when McCarthy made his off-the-wall accusations
that the U.S. military was riddled with communists that he came
unstuck, and no thanks to the media.
Now, in the 21st century, the corporate
media cried wolf for extremism. Charles Lewis, who heads the
Center for Public Integrity and is a former CBS journalist, told
me he believed that had the media challenged Bush's deceptions,
the invasion might not have happened; it would have been exposed
and untenable. I agree.
That's the potential power of journalists
to act as an agent of truth and the people, not of propaganda
and power. It's time that journalists who are serious about their
craft began examining their conscience and stop trying to distort
their intellect and moral sense for the sake of the job.
Arnove: If weapons of mass destruction
and links to al-Qaeda were fraudulent justifications for the
invasion of Iraq, what do you think was the real motivation?
Pilger:
It was about oil, of course, and directly controlling the Middle
East. Saudi Arabia, America's proxy, is unreliable these days.
The U.S. wanted Iraq, an entire country, as a base, as well as
its oil. Read the principal reports that Bush and Dick Cheney
saw soon after the inauguration. One Council on Foreign Relations
report is striking for the warning it gives, saying, in effect,
"Move now and get the oil before it starts to run out, or
China grabs it."
The invasion was also what Alexander
Haig called "a demonstration war." It demonstrated
the sheer rapaciousness of the Bush extremists, and their resolve
to impose their brand of capitalism on humanity. It was sending
a message: "Watch out. You might be next."
Arnove: What are conditions like for
ordinary Iraqis?
Pilger:
I can't say what the conditions are personally. But friends there
tell me that it is, as one wrote, "a hell we never expected."
An institute in Baghdad has done the first credible polling since
the invasion, and found that a majority of Iraqis believe the
situation, for ordinary people, is worse than under Saddam Hussein.
There are certainly more prisoners--at
least 4,000 have been incarcerated, and possibly many more. There
is collective punishment, torture, the violation of every international
law on the books. Amnesty International reports on this could
have been describing any totalitarian state.
Arnove: You recently visited postwar
Afghanistan. What can we learn about the occupation of Iraq from
the conditions there?
Pilger:
We can learn that America has the undisputed capacity to crush
weak and mostly defenseless countries, but it has almost no capacity
to control them directly thereafter. In Afghanistan, the Americans
are holed up in Bagram airbase, which reminds me of the base
at Pleiku in Vietnam.
They are surrounded by distrust and hostility,
and they have no interest in attempting to construct the kind
of colonial situation that allowed the British to control whole
populations with only a few troops. I think that the U.S. will
be driven out of Iraq, and the implications of that will be as
serious for Bush as Vietnam was for President Lyndon Johnson.
Arnove: How do you see the U.S. responding
to the current crisis? Do you think that they will try to retake
the initiative?
Pilger:
America has the material power and firepower, so that is possible.
But it would be artificial and short-lived.
Arnove: What do you think should be
the main priority for the antiwar movement?
Pilger:
Mass direct action, however small. In every small town and on
every city block, let there be voices heard and people ready
to take all the risks of civil disobedience.
Do on an American stage what the Bolivian
people did recently in their small impoverished country, where
they toppled a president. Build momentum. Connect with the families
of GIs serving in Iraq, or who have been killed and wounded there.
Remember, the antiwar movement is the
democratic opposition. Now there is none other. The choices and
responsibility are clearer now than at any time in my memory.
