Ida, 45 people were killed in New York and New Jersey last week. The storm dumped a record about of rain. So those were the headlines. The news continues here. Now. Jazz era, after the listening Post Stage and then watching bye for now. It shows the world and change the us forever, but after a vengeful War And Africanist on how much has changed and at what cost Al Jazeera looks back on 20 years since the 911. 00 attacks the paper here on the yard, we understand that there has been a Plane Crash on the southern tip like that was like a 2nd and never again, going to be the same. Most New York will not be the same and then there will not be to say not in the history on this nation has such carnage. Me there was an eat those that took cold that, you know, this terrible attack was a big threat to the country and that somehow we were all in this together, the government and the press, the response ought to be appropriate to what is in fact, the 2nd pearl harbor, the climate after 911. 00 meant that if you spoke out against the calls to invade iraq or the war on terror, you are committing career suicide. This is about good versus evil. This is about people who want to destroy us, our civilization, and our way of life know you live in basically created a world in which the United States was able to present itself as a force of good fighting against this international axis of evil. States like these and their turns down lives constitute an axis of evil behind the rhetoric is a reality, which is filled with Death And Destruction for people in the middle east and central Asia And South asia. We need to paper on notice that if they harbor terrorists, they are going to get a legacy has been creating more terrorism. Actually, weve got a long way to go in order to achieve our objective in america has no interest in fighting an endless war in afghanistan. Is the war that enhances the conditions that produce what is supposed to eradicate. We want to fight a war. Galveston and when i could win that war in a week, i just dont want to kill 10000000 people. I know my decision will be criticized. But i would rather take all that criticism, Pastors Decision on to another president in the United States, yet another one or the can never really end. The one did not have to be a visionary to realize on september 11th, 2001 that the United States was about to change. A strike at the heart of the worlds only superpower, almost 3000. 00 american lives lost in a single day. Well have that effect. What was unforeseen was, how many people in countries that had nothing to do with the 911 attacks had been affected by what the Bush Administration called the people who have never set foot in the west have seen their own countries and change their own rights. Freedom, some lives restricted. The invasion of afghanistan and iraq turned from a temporary intervention into long term occupations. And were still dominating needs. In 2000 today, taliban fighters took control of the capital cobble. It was a crusade as President George W bush once called. Weve never seen this kind of evil before, but the evil doers have never seen the american people started with the white house forging alliances on the airwaves ever in print. And in intellectual circles. One of the intellectuals who was brought into the white house to help frame the war on terror is bernard louis or not. Louis is famous for pointing the Term Clash of civilizations. They want to turn this into a religious war. A war of islam against what they see, see the world of the unbelievers and in the world of the believers, obviously the americans come 1st. Another person who was brought in is freed secaria at the time was the editor of the international edition of new suite of the war takes place and it goes well, which i think it probably will. You will also see at the end of this war that Saddam Hussein was indeed a murderous tire. And there will be stories that will be evidence and in that sense, you know, you will, you will. This will, will look better in history perhaps than it does today. 911 gave a new lease and a new life to orientalist ideas and even oriented lists scribes. This man can World View of good and evil in away aloud for the bushes administration, notion of this. Lemme call to replace actually the space that the evil empire of the soviet union had occupied before. And so the idea really was that it was the role of the United States to go in and civilized these peoples. And what these intellectuals did is they wrap that up and made it palatable for the 21st century. It was a time when the line separating american journalism from those in power faded away or was willingly crossed november 29th, 2001 was a case in point. It is a day that has stuck to for read the car. And robert caplin, a writer who worked for the atlantic, both attended a meeting, organized by the Deputy Secretary of defense, Paul Wolf with a gathering of hawks planning, a war and messengers who knew how to sell a Brainstorming Session that capital. And now would mit produced a forceful summary of pro war arguments at the time . The most significant Talking Point of the meeting was that the United States had to find a way to change the regime in iraq in supporting the Iraq War. I build my own test as a realist and have never ceased to remind by readers of that over the last 20 years. I attended no other meetings about the Iraq War. And its correct to say that meeting such as this one, provided an intellectual veneer to the policy that emerged. What rankles me is that with a few exceptions, the people who were writing robustly in favor of the war in iraq there, the editors of some of the most important publications in the United States. Right now, theyre my friends. I dont wanna single them out, but none of them paid a price not no 1. 00. I supported the war because i was a journalist who had gotten too close to my story. I had made several trips in the 19 eighties and i had never experienced tyranny. Like i did in Saddam Husseins iraq, so i said to myself, whats worse than this . Nothing could be worse than this. Well, i found out in the years since the invasion that the anarchy in iraq after Saddam Cell was much, much worse than the tyranny under his rule. Whether caught opt in or russia patriotism, or addicted to the ratings that rise when broadcaster is bang. The drums of too much of the american media bought into big allies on iraqi w. M. D. s terrorist sleeper south than the us. And Saddam Husseins fictional links to our new studios were flooded with ex, military officers turned front man for weapons manufacturers urging us to attack iraq, presented as experts were more like profit. Here, the categories played a coordinating role in getting them on the air. Lets turn to retire general. Joseph ralston, also joining me. General bernard, trainer, hes a retired marine corps, Lieutenant General air force. Lieutenant general, tom mcinerney, who is with us and our foxes were briefing room. They were Beltway Band with former pentagon officials who make out like, and thats when they go into the private Sector Market and then work for military contractor history. This campaign is brilliant, it doesnt involve any collateral damage, no villages, no urban warfare. And it was a scandal that David Barstow of the New York times uncovered he brought in the minutes of these meetings between rumsfeld and the military experts who were going on tv was a completely orchestrated program inside the pentagon, giving Talking Points to the experts who would go on the media to shape public opinion. Ah, and you were perspectives were marginalized. In some cases censor. The New York times was not the only us Media Outlet to turn into a Conveyor Belt for a false narrative. But because of its Reach And Influence at home and abroad, it helped set the news agenda. Jill abramson was the times is Washington Bureau Chief chris hedges as beat at the time was outside. The media was complicit in, perpetuating this mit. You cant make a war on terror. Thats what tut ology. Its impossible and yet we reacted we drank from that very dark elixir of nationalism. You have to remember after the attacks of 911, the Bush Administration, perpetrated on, on purpose this kind of fear. Its how they ended up passing the Patriot Act and the 2002 Authorization Use military force actor. So you had fear, but then you also had american chauvinism. And that was a very deadly mix that an essence blinded the New York times as an institution. It wasnt just one or 2 reporters right after 911. 00. I remember the director of the ca, george tenant, calling me i was the Washington Bureau Chief for the New York time. And on that call, enlisting my agreement that the times would not do any reporting or disclose and of intelligence sources and methods. You just talk to the washing and pose, and he ticked off the networks and everybody had agreed and the times ended up giving huge play some seriously flawed news stories that were based on for rocky defectors, who turned out to have very little information of value about the current state of affairs in iraq, me in 2004, the times published and editorial may a copa of sorts admitting that some of its coverage, leading up to the Iraq War was not as rigorous as it should have been. It said editors who should have been challenging reporters and pressing for more skepticism, were perhaps too intent on rushing scoops into the paper. The editorial ended with a promise to continue aggressive reporting aimed at setting the record straight in the us military on leave, a massive series of air strikes on baghdad and other cities in iraq. And it was both shocking and awesome, as it was promised to be swept the nation after the events of 911. 00. So much so that journalists felt that they could not ask critical questions. Cbs anchor, dan, rather who went on the Letterman Show and who said George Bush is the president. He makes the decisions. And you know, theres just one american wherever he wants me to tell me where and hell make the call. Talk about media that have completely given up their autonomy, fox news, and rupert Murdochs Empire with consistently in favor of the war on iraq. In fact, all his editors about a 180 of them took a pro war. Busy 9 in the lead up to the Iraq War one, Oregon Saddam begins, we expect every american to support our military. And if they cant do that, to shut on color or audiences were led to believe the Iraq War would be over in months if not weeks. And months our patients will be one of our strengths that american troops would not end up meyer there, or in afghanistan, which the us invaded to hunt down to summer. Been loudon and al qaeda. And where a decade after Ben Latins assassination, american forces remained. When the biden administration finally and the afghan Stan Mission last month, american news companies featured many of the same voices. Obviously, this is an unmitigated disaster column. We did our Dc Defense Contract brown that had advocated for the invasions and the subsequent occupation were now arguing that the us was leaving afghans at the mercy of the taliban. And abandoning american interest on time. You know, 911 also birth a new generation of security centric films and television shows produced to trade unfair the pentagon and the cia have long had an informal symbiotic relationship with all supplying movie makers with military hardware, or turning the spy Agencies Headquarters in virginia into a film set in exchange for state friendly screenplays. 2 months after 911 in november of 2147 talk. Hollywood executives met with bush advisor, Karl Rove in los angeles, to discuss patriotic plot lines. The industry could craft rove later, said it was about showing that the war and afghan esther was not against the law, but against terrorists. That distinction would be lost on most filmmakers. And eventually their audiences. There was 24. Its centered around a Counter Terror Prism age and by the name of jack bower. And every season is based on 24 hours of trying to avert this terrorist plot. I Walker Ball torturing people, something killing them. But the audience is led to believe that he has no choice, but to do all the real quick things. So that show was fantastic, a popular and played a very big role in terms of creating a terrorism mindset. Season for the show 24 had an Ad Campaign with a muslim family that looked very suburban america please me, is not the I I Cant even tell you the shock i felt when i saw that im here to tell you that i think that many people die because of it trans, up being dropped because we are the unionized countries i invaded because we are the human eyes because people do not have empathy with brown people. The whole land, which took over from 24 round from 2011 to 2020 and marked a shift from the kind of shoot him a Cowboy Narrative off 24 into Obama Mater War on terror. All the muslim characters on the various and terrible, except for one of the agent who is an iranian american, who proves her loyalty by being extremely patriotic. But your current state of mind makes your loyalty to him and to the agency. A very live issue covered director not to worry. Shes a good muslim, right. That showed how cultural knowledge of the enemy, good Intelligence And Diplomacy were important in terms of winning the war on terror. Of course it also justified extra judicial killing. It justified torture and all the rest of it. So now youve got the air for the muslim who is a C H and but nobody stopped and asked for hold it. You know, is this now human . I think as are you making us, you know, like everybody else good for the speakers with experience and international finance. I had to help. What can we tell him . We really those about child damaging. It was for american coaches to be center, but not a single movie about how damaging it was for the people down after 911. 00, any nuanced discussion of the slumming world or what it means to be muslim is vanquished. And what we get, in fact, are just these empty slogans and cliches that take the place of real understanding or knowledge. So you get films like american sniper butcher, youve got to say get on the avenue. The entire premise of the film is that these people are terrorists who savagely attack innocence. Theyre not defending their own country from invasion, kind of a mile to move. It feeds very pernicious stereotypes. There are very few films that actually show a new one. Its portrayal of what context make tears impossible. What drives young men to become tears. There are examples of film by moral can maybe use voices of god. Is the policy in film . Paradise . No. Its not a coincidence that these homes are not american. These films show the complexity of the socio economic and geo political climate that push certain young men into the hands of terrorist organizations. So i understand, of course, no films are commodity, right . And these are multi national corporations that are interested in profit. And they want to produce what sells in a way, but oftentimes it rhymes with the official Discourse And Narrative of the state. After so many years of you need dimensional reductive depictions of error muslims and the middle east. Audiences have been conditions to expect certain kind of glad i stopped in the blood, was those and it sprayed everywhere which may explain why the New York times, incidentally, winnings, comcast, and 1018. California was such a essential character who went by the elliot abu, who told the times he wasnt islamic States Soldier and furnished the paper with tales of violence. And barbara had to stand multiple times. He put him on the cross actually the dagger in his heart. The podcast was downloaded the millions of times, but the story turned out to be a hoax. Abu safe was real name is sharon challenge. He is a Fraud Scientist who sold a fictional tale 2 times reporter, meaning Color Market one. She would eventually, when a Peabody Award for the paper was forced to admit it, got it wrong. Blaming an institutional failure, 16 years after acknowledging the failings in its post 9 coverage, promising to be more rigorous, the New York times had done it again. But the podcast remains online with this screen, the times has concluded that the episodes of counterfeit that presented a challenge to his claims did not meet our standards for accuracy. And the times stood by telemachus, his journalism has been called into question before describing her fine report. So since muslims are demonized its its very easy for the media to embrace stories however false that cater to that stereotype of muslims and the New York times did precisely this when he put out the caliph, it based on the testimony given by an impostor. That was completely untrue, but it catered to that stereotype. It was lurid. It was salacious. It was audio snuff, poor people being crucified and stabbed in the heart. The blood was everywhere. What the hell did i just do . Im a psycho killer. Now. I didnt give him a chance to repent, stabbed him, but because of the long denigration of muslims with both within popular culture within the media, it was believable. Those stereotypes that play on fear are uneasy sound for the politicians, filmmakers and news networks that acted as travel agents for the war on terror discourse, political leaders, the world over have adopted that language. In some cases, have copied and pasted the legislation to surveil and ultimately. Ready their own opposition, i speak to someone who was always against this had done for sandra geem. I always wanted to see the end of a dictatorship. But i, like many iraqis did not want to see the destruction of an entire society and the dismantling of institutions that took a 100 years to bill. We did not have terrorism before 2003. We did not have car bombs. Wed not have malicious running around killing people. The war on terror and the atmosphere it created has generated so much unnecessary fear amongst so many citizens. So its become a very convenient tool to completely crush any kind of legitimate political opposition. The Fear Narrative has become far more pervasive since 911. 00. Yeah. It was a terrifying and then the whole country watch thousands of people die on that day. But we remained in a perpetual state of the year. There were always new threats that were being played. One of the key accomplishments, i think of the war on terror is really to create a world that is a lot scarier in Peoples Mind than it is in reality. What is really alarming for people who study the war on terra and who have a sense of the actual threat posed by islamist or the hardest groups . Is the extent to which this threat has been overblown and over inflated not just in the United States, but around the world to justify various course of policy. Once you make people afraid, you can use that to justify stripping away basic civil liberties. Remember, we are the most watch, spied upon photograph, monitored population in human history. And when your government watches you 24 hours a day, you cant use the word liberty. Thats the relationship of a master and slave. And that is the real legacy of 911. The global citizens persuaded by political leaders and news organizations to fear unseen enemies have surrendered some of their basic civil rights in the name of staying safe. In september of 2001, the Bush Administration called the downing of the world trade center, an attack on freedom. However, 2 decades later, youve come to realize that the actual sustained attack on freedom lies in so much of what has happened says it is a war on to dress up the skies as a war on terror. Who my name is sand. Bell. Im the person that can find out whos it, who bought for the living mechanic was shop. You will see that you said youre gonna be mine. I do that. Is it possible .
