they NEVER have they NEVER will (as long as the good ol' white boy network rules). they want to pull the strings of whoever is in charge in iraq (like they have elsewhere).
i don't buy it. i never will either
(note: i am NOT blaming the 'troops'. they are following orders)
More U.S. Military Assaults on Media
by Dahr Jamail and Ali al-Fadhily
Iraqi journalists are outraged over yet another U.S. military raid on the media. U.S. soldiers raided and ransacked the offices of the Iraq Syndicate of Journalists (ISJ) in central Baghdad Tuesday this week. Ten armed guards were arrested, and 10 computers and 15 small electricity generators kept for donation to families of killed journalists were seized. This is not the first time U.S. troops have attacked the media in Iraq, but this time the raid was against the very symbol of it. Many Iraqis believe the U.S. soldiers did all they could to deliver the message of their leadership to Iraqi journalists to keep their mouth shut about anything going wrong with the U.S.-led occupation. "The Americans have delivered so many messages to us, but we simply refused all of them," Youssif al-Tamimi of the ISJ in Baghdad told IPS. "They killed our colleagues, closed so many newspapers, arrested hundreds of us and now they are shooting at our hearts by raiding our headquarters. This is the freedom of speech we received." Some Iraqi journalists blame the Iraqi government. .............

Along those same lines I heard Bush Administration was less than happy with the re-election of Daniel Ortega to the presidency in Nicaragua and that they wanted to cut off aid to that country. Now I'm no fan of Ortega but democracy is suppose to be democracy and who the people of that country elect is none of our business. What a minute, were talking about Bush here. I'm sorry too many beers this evening have affected me. Like Bush has any respect for democracy here much less in some little Central American country.
you're right b b. hey we were saddam's buddy for MANY years. my personal favorite is now we're best buds with kaddafi(i'm not even going to check the spelling on that one. it's 3:30 and i've not had any coffee yet). that man is not only INSANE, but HE IS A DESPOTIC MASS MURDERER
