By Anwar Ibrahim
Alhamdulillah saya dan Azizah dapat menunaikan ibadat umrah dengan tenang. Doa kami moga umrah mabrur, sa’i mashkur dan amalan solehah.
Rupa-rupanya tatkala di Makah al Mukarramah, serangan fitnah bertali arus ditujukan kepada peribadi saya. Namun apa yang baru? Pencak mereka hanyalah fitnah, jika tidak agen Cina, India pastinya tali barut CIA. Khabar ini langsung tidak mengejutkan. Apatah lagi walau Umno-Bn punyai dana puluhan juta, kemiskinan idea begitu terserlah apabila mahu memintal fitnah.
Hanya dengan mengutip tulisan blog Elaine Supkis(kononnya blog terkenal) dan kenyataan seseorang yang bernama Joshua Trevino, Utusan Malaysia milik Umno, tanpa berpandukan etika kewartawanan mulakan satu kempen dangkal dan berakarkan kebencian. Terpampang di muka hadapan fitnah Anwar Agen CIA. Pimpinan Umno pula bersahut-sahutan menyokong. Tidakkah mereka sedar rakyat Malaysia mual untuk disogok dengan berita sedemikian.Hari ini terungkailah segala pembohongan yang dipintal serta dianyam pimpinan Umno yang diketuai Dato’ Sri Najib Razak. CNN telahpun mengeluarkan satu kenyataan bahawa organisasi media tersebut tidak menerima sebarang bentuk bayaran dari saya. Kemunculan saya untuk ruang ‘Connect The World’ merupakan keputusan penerbit program tersebut.
Penafian CNN bukan sahaja meruntuhkan bongkah penipuan media berhaluan kanan ekstrem seperti New Ledger, namun mendedahkan makar Utusan selaku lidah rasmi Umno yang berusaha memfitnah saya. Malahan organisasi CNN yang berpengkalan di Hong Kong berpandangan adalah janggal mengapa tiada usaha dari pihak Utusan untuk mendapatkan kepastian dari pihak mereka. Namun bagi kita tidaklah mengejutkan kerana mengetahui peranan Utusan yang selama ini sudahpun luluh integritinya sebagai sebuah organisasi yang bebas.

Report Fabricated, Says CNN
Malaysiakini July 13, 2010
CNN has stringently denied that Opposition Leader Anwar Ibrahim paid the global news broadcaster to do an interview early this month.
MCPX“The story about CNN accepting payment from anyone for Anwar Ibrahim to appear on ‘Connect the World’ is clearly fabricated,” said a CNN spokesperson, who is based in Hong Kong where the network’s Asia headquarters are located.
“It is disturbing that no effort was made to contact us and independently verify these groundless allegations before they were subsequently reported as fact.”
Malay-language daily Utusan Malaysia had last Friday kicked off the controversy with its July 9 report headlined ‘Anwar alleged to have paid CNN’.
The report referred to Trevino Strategies and Media Inc president Joshua Trevino, who wrote in a US-based news portal The New Ledger that Anwar hired media contacts, particularly in CNN, to convince Jewish lobbyists that he is not anti-Israel.
Trevino had lamented that the CNN’s ‘Connector of the Day’ interview on July 2 was “tame” in questioning Anwar’s anti-Zionist rhetoric.
Following the Utusan report, a number of Umno leaders attacked Anwar over the alleged “paid” interview.
“If it is true that Anwar paid for the CNN interview, it shows that he stoop so low to the United States and the Jews… he will do anything to achieve his ambition of becoming the prime minister,” said Umno vice-president Mohd Shafie Apdal the day after the Utusan report.
Deputy Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin, who is also Umno deputy head, said the allegation shows that Anwar was desperate.
“He can use the media. If he has to pay, then let him pay to clarify his position and the lies he told when he went abroad,” he was quoted as saying by New Straits Times in a July 11 report headlined ‘Muhyiddin: Anwar paid CNN’.
Another round of attacks
Utusan, an Umno-owned newspaper, has since ratcheted up the tempo against Anwar, this time with another report on Sunday alleging that the PKR supremo was a CIA stooge.
The report is based on the posting of an obscure American blogger, Elaine Meinel Supkis, who claimed that her source was “a Jewish editor of the warmongering Washington Post”.
Utusan cited Meinel’s posting – bizarrely entitled ‘CIA and Mossad want Anwar Ibrahim assassinated’ – which claimed that Anwar serves to protect the US’ interests and to undertake covert planning on its behalf in Malaysia.
This sparked another round of attacks from other Umno leaders, including Home Minister Hishammuddin Hussein and Information Communication and Culture Minister Rais Yatim.
