Makes much more sense to let random people whom you don't know the identity of to potentially wander around your military camps and scout your troop locations and next moves.

Hello people, this is a WAR.

Morph, I'd like you to explain why you keep spreading lies and misinformaton? It's so damn obvious that it isn't true that it's almost funny but I'm curious as to your reasons for making yourself look like such a fool.



The Iraqi media : 25 years of relentless repression

"How did the Iraqi press - one of the most vibrant and independent presses in the Middle East from 1920 to 1958 - degenerate into an official organ whose sole purpose is to disseminate propaganda on behalf of the Iraqi leader, Saddam Hussein ?

A report just issued today by Reporters without Borders outlines the history of the Iraqi press through the 20th century. After the 1958 revolution, media censorship became a way of life in Iraq. In this very unstable environment, the freedom that had been extended to journalists gradually started to erode, while more and more newspapers were shut down. In 1979, Saddam Hussein was elected Iraq's President. All of the newspapers that had failed to support the Ba'ath Party's rise to power were closed. It was then that the systematic and bloody persecution of dissidents and journalists began. Since 1979, dozens of them have had to endure judicial and police harassment, jailings and torture. A large number of them have either been executed or have vanished.

But how are the international reporters that sneak up next to Iraqi tanks getting treated?
