American interests are the interests of a very small minority (4.5%) of the world population - the "irrelevant" remaining 95.5% clearly have their own view of this illegal colonial war of BushÂ´s choice.

Really? What percentage of the "remaining 95.5%" don't even have a TV , are completely uninformed and could care less?

You guys should really check out that IHT article I posted a few pages back. It makes me sick. The French media are salivating as they wait for civilian casualties and the anchors are constantly asking their field journalists to get them graphic pictures of dead or injured civilians.

The field journalists just shrug their shoulders and say they have nothing.

What kind of sick twisted mind would want civilian casualties?

Oh yeah! A French one.

NYSE Bans Al-Jazeera Reporters
Tuesday, March 25, 2003

NEW YORK â The Arab TV network Al-Jazeera said Monday two of its reporters covering the New York Stock Exchange have had their credentials revoked because of the satellite station's coverage of the war in Iraq.

Exchange spokesman Ray Pellechia denied the station's war coverage was the cause. Citing "security reasons," he said the exchange had chosen to limit the number of broadcasters working at the lower Manhattan exchange since the war began, giving access only to networks that focus "on responsible business coverage."

Al-Jazeera said it got a letter from the exchange saying the number of accredited TV stations needed to be reduced. It said reporters Ammar al-Sankari and Ramzi Shiber had their credentials withdrawn.

The network said the reason was "Al-Jazeera's coverage of the war on Iraq."

It said it has covered the exchange for years and believes it is the only channel affected by the new curbs. Pellechia said other broadcasters had been refused accreditation or permission to increase their staff, but he declined to give examples.

U.S. military officials on Sunday criticized Al-Jazeera for carrying Iraqi TV footage of U.S. prisoners of war.

Al-Jazeera is based in the Persian Gulf state of Qatar, which also hosts the U.S. military's Central Command for the region. The station has gained a reputation as an unusually independent voice in a region where many news media are government-controlled.

Ghazi Khankan of the Council on American-Islamic Relations decried the move, saying Al-Jazeera "is really one of the very few independent Arab media, and to cut them off is a loss to the stock exchange."

He said he understood the sensitivity of the footage of U.S. captives, "but I don't think this is the right thing to do in spite of the sad pictures."

They're now saying that many Iraqi civilians are dressing up like soldiers so they can surrender and get food from U.S. troops. Likewise, many Iraqi soldiers are dressing up like civilians so they can take pot shots at U.S. troops.

It speaks volumes when the general Iraqi population is better fed and treated as a POW than from their own leader.

FUCK Saddam. That is all.

patriots can't use the same unspeakable tactics of those who we fight with. there are journalists all over the world in the new conferences to ask all sorts of questions freely. why cannot patriots stick to the freedom of speech which is the most precious and the most great thing we have here.

Americans sacrifice and will prevail.
