| Do we get ANY truth out of Iraq? |
|
Seriously, if we have trouble getting the American media to expose what goes on here with the Bush* Administration, medicare, Iraq, WMD's etc. where we have 'The Constitution', how can we expect to get any sliver of TRUTH out of Iraq where the ALL MEDIA is entirely controlled and filtered?

I got to the cartoon on Superman and I began to cry. It had never dawned on me before that, if stem cell research had been allowed to continue, that fine man might still be with us.
Chalk up another casualty of Bush/Cheney's "Love" machine. They're Freeing people right and left.

It made it real. I'd never seen combat like they showed it. The reporter weren't 'imbedded'. They found the story, now I think they are told the story.

| 4. News is more heavily censored than during Vietnam. |

We're getting some of the truth, from third party sources.

| 7. No independent observers were in Iraq. |
|
We will have to wait to hear what guys like Jimmy Carter have to say. They will make sense of the vote.
I have no doubt that some Iraqis were excited to vote. When the vote totals are announced we will see what the reaction is. I think that the religious Sunnis will be very disappointed.
