To prove their case of US germ warfare, the Chinese tortured captured US pilots into confessing that they had air-dropped germ bombs. Burchett contorted himself to ignore the torture and believe the lies. He even wrote a book based on the testimony of tortured US pilots. 7/x — PolitiTweet.org

(The claim seems to have got its start because of the high disease rate among North Korean and Chinese soldiers. Rather than improve hygiene and medicine, the communists blamed the United States for outbreaks behind their lines.) 6/x — PolitiTweet.org

I think of Burchett when I see writers in the West today reporting Russian propaganda about alleged Ukrainian germ warfare plots. It's a familiar lie, brought only very slightly up to date. The authors of the lie are looking for their own Wilfred Burchetts to support them. 8/x — PolitiTweet.org
