To Sell a War

"To Sell A War" is documentary, first aired in December 1992 as part of CBC program "the fifth estate".

It exposes the Citizens for a Free Kuwait campaign as public relations spin to gain public opinion support for the Gulf war. As well, it reveals that Nurse Nayirah was in fact Nijirah al-Sabah, the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the United States Saud Nasir Al-Sabah, coached by Hill & Knowlton to forge her infamous testimony about Iraqi soldiers removing babies from incubators, which was widely reported and repeated throughout the media.
