Network TV is censoring the Iraq VIDEO of beatings by British soldiers
Only a small portion of it is being played by Western media on this side of the pond, from what I can see, and it's the tamest portion

Wonder what's playing in Europe?

Here's the complete video:

The fascinating thing about this video is how soon it appeared after the Danish Mohammed drawings and the muted contrast we see from Western media. Is there some apprehension out there about further destroying the reputation of the "coalition" over there? Fear of violence, perhaps?

Apparently not by the Brits, since behaviour like that is exactly the kind of thing that inspires insurgents and suicide bombers.

1. Why censorship of this? Don't we deserve to see the whole thing since
it's news?

2. Stop Iraq War!
Hello everybody, I ran across the perfect symbol to protest the war in Iraq and yet still show my patriotism and support for the troops. It is the "Love the Troops Hate the War" car magnet. It can be found at http://www.lovethetroopshatethewar.com. I know for certain that if there were as many of these "X" magnets on cars as there are yellow ribbons, THIS WAR WOULD END NOW! What do you think? Isn't this the perfect logo to stop this war?

Regards,
Sandra Stammberg.

6. War creates monsters all too often.
What Murtha said applies to the Brits also. They're the targets now, they've got targets on them and they need to leave.

Staying inflames Iraq.
