Selective Memri

Brian Whitaker ( the Guardian.UK) investigates whether the 'independent' media institute (MEMRI) that translates the Arabic newspapers is quite what it seems.
"The reason for Memri's air of secrecy becomes clearer when we look at the people behind it. The co-founder and president of Memri, and the registered owner of its website, is an Israeli called Yigal Carmon.

Mr - or rather, Colonel - Carmon spent 22 years in Israeli military intelligence and later served as counter-terrorism adviser to two Israeli prime ministers, Yitzhak Shamir and Yitzhak Rabin."
