Monbiot disses Italian TV documentary and points out strong evidence

George Monbiot (Guardian Nov 15th 2005) comments on the Italian TV documentary supposedly showing that the US used phosphorous in Iraq. He points out at least two newspaper reports by embedded reporters which clearly state that US forces used "shake-n-bake" phosphorous weapons. He also points out that the Labour MP Ann Clywd who was part of the UK government's disinformation campaign on the related issue of the use of napalm has been played for a patsy.
