Blame it on the USA

Gorse Fox just complained. He is a timid soul ;¬) , and complaining doesn't come easy to him. However, the BBC have wound him up again...

In your article: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/4260892.stm "Corrupt Iraqi staff steal $1bn'' you reveal the story, but then as it closes you quote the Independent 'The newspaper alleges that the theft was so skilful it suggests corrupt Iraqi officials were aided by 'rogue elements' within the US military or intelligence services.'

Is there any activity anywhere in the world that does not somehow attract an anti-American comment from the BBC (even if quoting someone else). Does the BBC never feel embarrassed by such blatant prejudice?

I should like to point out that I am not American, but I am getting really fed up with the continual sniping at them.

GF has asked for a reply... and looks forward with interest to the repsonse.

If the USA paid off the debts of every country in the world, the BBC would find a way of saying they should have done earlier, and the debt was their fault anyway.
