You nor I can make this stuff up.
'US War Leaders this past week launched an unprecedented attack upon one of their most politically 'connected', and legendary, radio hosts named Don Imus after his threats to release information relating to the September 11, 2001 attacks upon that country'.
It's the Bizzaro world.

Classic Russisch paranoia. Then again, you ought to know what story you're getting when you read the English edition of what used to be the Communist Party of the USSR's speaking tube (Pravda) :p
Mind you, no nation is immune to silly conspiracy theories and propaganda. Some things you read about Russia in American mainstream papers are just as ludicrous, I assure you. Just flip through some of the stuff that should be circulating today about Kasparov, Putin & co.

That's just great. Now they won't believe us when we say "we come in peace"!
Soviet Union witnessed invasion of US-made UFOs in 1980s.

They still didn't found out the truth? The UFOs were just a decoy to give our Marines enough time to charge their invisibility cloaks.
USSR banned microwaves over killing effect.

I'd like to see the bio of the author. Failed British song-writer/musician ends up working for the Pravda. Isn't the pay better at the BBC? Does he work for the Pravda out of ideological motivations or did the BBC rejected him?

I was under the impression that Pravda meant 'truth'. Am I wrong or just misguided?

You're doubleplusungood.
Perhaps the biggest newspaper in Russia is still named Komsomol'skaya Pravda - Komsomol, for those who don't know, stands for Communist Youth Organization.
This, of course, is despite the fact that the paper is owned by Russia's premiere capitalist venture Gazprom and the Komsomol has ceased to exist with the Soviet union.
So I wouldn't take the titles too seriously :p
