The files, obtained by the WikiLeaks website and passed to The Daily Telegraph, disclose that a phone number of someone at the BBC was found in the phone books and phones of a number of extremists seized by US forces.

A detainee assessment, dated 21 April 2007, states: "The London, United Kingdom (UK), phone number 0044 207 XXX XXXX was discovered in numerous seized phone books and phones associated with extremist-linked individuals.

“The number is associated with the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC).” Analysis by The Daily Telegraph suggests the number is one for Bush House, home of the BBC World Service.

People need leaked files to consider it a propaganda outlet?

The BBC is a propaganda media network, all by itself.

Next they might find that MSNBC is part of a “propaganda media network”. Who can tell, they are oh so bright.

I didn’t always support Wikileaks but I do now.

I don’t trust the media and government to ever tell us the truth. The system is about propaganda and it is intentionally corrupt and over classified. It is not about protect the people or the USA, but to protect the thieves and traitors that have been running the USA and world for their private wealth and power gains.
