Particularly of interest:
Hill & Knowlton
In 1990, after being approached by a Kuwaiti expatriate in New York, Hill & Knowlton took on “Citizens for a Free Kuwait.”[38] The objective of the national campaign was to raise awareness in the United States about the dangers posed by Iraqi dictator, Saddam Hussein to Kuwait.[38]
Hill & Knowlton conducted a $1 million study to determine the best way to win support for strong action. H & K had the Wirthington Group conduct focus groups to determine the best strategy that would influence public opinion. The study found that an emphasis on atrocities, particularly the incubator story, was the most effective.
Hill & Knowlton is estimated to have been given as much as $12 million by the Kuwaitis for their public relations campaign.
It is unclear how much of Nayirah’s testimony was coached. Though the firm was supposed to provide only stylistic help, it was reported that H&K “provided witnesses, wrote testimony, and coached the witnesses for effectiveness.”
What…..the excuses given for going to war in Iraq were based on LIES !!!!!
Next you’ll be telling us that Tony Blair’s dossier was dodgy
