[Peace-discuss] Snippet from Chomsky lecture

[David Green]

Carl has already posted this, but I wanted to single out this quote:

"In a forthcoming study, (Edward) Herman continues this work, providing such 
examples as the following recent pair: Neda Agha-Soltan, aged 27, shot dead 
while participating in a peaceful street demonstration in Tehran last June; and 
Isis Obed Murillo, aged 19, shot dead while participating in a peaceful 
demonstration in Honduras shortly after. Agha-Soltan was the victim of an enemy 
state. She merited 736 newspaper articles and 231 reports on TV, radio, and 
other sources. Murrillo was the victim of a government installed by a military 
coup and recognized by the Obama administration, though few others. She merited 
8 newspaper articles and one other report. The 100-1 ratio is not in the least 
unusual."
