Voici deux informations paraissant quasi-simultan\u00e9ment, sur deux tr\u00e8s grands m\u00e9dias MSM am\u00e9ricains, sur des probl\u00e8mes essentiels.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\t La premi\u00e8re, dans le Washington Post<\/em> du 27 octobre<\/a> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe U.S. Defense Department is expanding the scope of what it deems war-related spending, a move that would make it easier to meet growing Army and other service requests for more funding overall.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbDeputy Defense Secretary Gordon England, in a memorandum dated Wednesday, told military chiefs to base their requests for funding outside the regular defense budget on the longer war against terror.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbSuch requests should be not strictly limited to Iraq, Afghanistan and operations from Philippines to Djibouti sparked by the September 11 attacks, England wrote. He said they should be sent to the defense secretary’s office by November 1.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbThe memorandum was made available Friday by InsideDefense.com, an online news service. The memo did not define the longer war a term that could open the door to more spending on everything from intelligence to the pricey process of making Army brigades more readily deployable.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t La seconde, dans Time<\/em> Magazine, \u00e9galement du 27 octobre<\/a> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00abThe U.S. tried to deflect criticism of the Iraq war this week by announcing a series of timelines and performance benchmarks for Iraq’s government to disband sectarian militias and other goals aimed at preventing a civil war all the while making it clear that U.S. patience has limits. But no sooner had the U.S. made this declaration than Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki virtually dismissed it. Not only did he reject the notion of timelines, but he scolded the U.S. for attacking commanders of the Shi’ite Mahdi Army in Baghdad. TIME.com asked Professor Juan Cole of the University of Michigan, one of America’s foremost experts on Shi’ite politics and culture in Iran and beyond, to explain why Maliki and the U.S. can’t seem to stay on the same page.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbTIME.com: The U.S. is demanding that Prime Minister al-Maliki tackle sectarian militias, but Prime Minister al-Maliki is pushing back against deadlines and castigating the U.S. for military operations against some of those militias. Are Washington and Maliki on a collision course?<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbJuan Cole: Maliki is protecting himself by being feisty, showing Iraqis that he is not taking orders from Washington. But he also has a serious policy dispute with the U.S., and a sense of betrayal. They promised him, last summer when they launched the major security offensive to retake Baghdad, that the U.S. would take care of Sunni guerrilla movement in Baghdad before moving against Mahdi Army [the Shi’ite militia of Moqtada al-Sadr, whose stronghold is in Baghdad]. That way, Maliki could to go to the Shi’ite elders in Baghdad and say, you are safe, you no longer need militias and they are a source of discord, so they must be disbanded. But the Americans failed to dislodge the Sunni insurgents, and then they go after the Mahdi army anyway and that enrages Maliki because it weakens his government in such a way that it could fall.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n \t\u00bbSo Maliki’s outrage over attacks on the Mahdi Army are not a matter of principle; it’s about the fact that the U.S. hasn’t first done what it said it would do, which was to eliminate the threat of the Sunni insurgents in Baghdad. The reason Shi’ite communities believe they need militias is to protect them from the Sunni guerrillas, which they say the government and the U.S. are not doing. And Maliki can’t go and tell them to get rid of their militias while they remain vulnerable to attack by Sunni guerrillas.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tQu’ont en commun ces deux informations ? Les deux grands m\u00e9dias MSM s’adressent directement \u00e0 deux sources d’information en ligne InsideDefense.com<\/a> et Informed Comment<\/a>, le site personnel de Juan Cole. (Ce dernier est devenu one of America’s foremost experts on Shi’ite politics and culture in Iran and beyond<\/em> par la seule vertu de son site.)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tC’est un signe qui nous a paru symbolique et significatif de l’importance et du cr\u00e9dit qu’a d\u00e9sormais acquis l’information en ligne, notamment aupr\u00e8s des m\u00e9dias MSM. Ceux-ci avaient d’abord eu une attitude extr\u00eamement critique, voire m\u00e9prisante, pour ce qu’ils jugeaient \u00eatre le manque de professionnalisme de ce nouveau circuit d’information. On avait pu entendre et lire cette sorte de jugements cat\u00e9goriques en janvier 1998, lorsque l’information qui d\u00e9clencha l’affaire Lewinsky (qui conduisit en onze mois \u00e0 la mise en accusation de Clinton) fut diffus\u00e9e par un site d’extr\u00eame-droite anti-clintonien.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tLe temps du m\u00e9pris est pass\u00e9. Aujourd’hui, l’information en ligne est un pan essentiel du syst\u00e8me global d’information. Elle a compl\u00e8tement chang\u00e9 les donn\u00e9es de l’information et forc\u00e9 les autorit\u00e9s officielles, notamment le gouvernement US, \u00e0 diffuser une information de plus en plus partisane pour tenter de lutter contre l’info non contr\u00f4l\u00e9e de la Toile. L’information officielle est devenue une source d’information comme une autre, sujette au moins aux m\u00eames soup\u00e7ons de subjectivit\u00e9 et de parti-pris. L’information en ligne a sauv\u00e9 le monde occidental d’une plong\u00e9e dans une information compl\u00e8tement contr\u00f4l\u00e9e et totalitaire derri\u00e8re l’apparente l\u00e9gitimit\u00e9 d’un pouvoir non contest\u00e9, plong\u00e9e \u00e0 laquelle la presse MSM acquies\u00e7ait d’avance.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n \tAujourd’hui, alors que la politique officielle occidentaliste (am\u00e9ricaniste) est en plein d\u00e9sarroi, et l’information officielle avec elle, l’information en ligne devient une source fondamentale, y compris pour les MSM. On n’a pas fini de mesurer les effets et les cons\u00e9quences de ce ph\u00e9nom\u00e8ne. Si la r\u00e9volution existe encore, c’est l\u00e0 qu’on la trouve.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \tMis en ligne le 29 octobre 2006 \u00e0 14H52<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Voici deux informations paraissant quasi-simultan\u00e9ment, sur deux tr\u00e8s grands m\u00e9dias MSM am\u00e9ricains, sur des probl\u00e8mes essentiels.
