Not even mentioning the fact that the French SOTT report on the Merah case was mentioned, and an extract broadcast, on a famous French webTV, a couple of days ago:

I watched this, and their twists are so obviously lame that it was laughable. They used clips from the SOTT report outside of their context, and omitted all the data that was exposed. They used it as a starting platform for their debate, and immediately, everybody jumped in and said "it's ridiculous, stupid, etc." But the thing is, after the show the viewer is left with the impression that "conspiracy" is not so farfetched after all. They made us look good even if they did their best to discredit us!
The journalist who had written the article for Le Monde was there, I believe. One of his theories was that (are you sitting down?) Merah had managed to escape from the building (which was surrounded by 300 cops!) unnoticed, then went to call France 24 (and they
know this is a fact because he had a pre-paid phone card that connected to a Spanish phone company(??)), then decided to go back into the building, at which point the police saw him but decided to let him go in silently, thus covering up for their mistake.
How is that for IMPOSSIBLE? Why in the word would he have wanted to go back? Why in the world would he have wanted to leave the building when he had two phones (fixed line and cell-phone) himself, and supposedly, he didn't want the call to be anonymous? Why in the world did the police not arrest him alive at that point? Arghhh.... It's so ridiculous that they are making it worse.
Bad publicity is still publicity. I think we might have made them afraid because we were fairly close to the truth. Otherwise, they wouldn't bother doing any "damage control", like Perceval said.
