Pay articles on the net

Pay articles on the net suck

You can only see the first paragraph or so, but that alone says plenty: Censorship of the press in Iraq.

Paul Bremer has ordered his legal department in Baghdad to draw up
rules for press censorship. A joke, I concluded, when one of the newly
styled Coalition Provisional Authority officials tipped me off last
week. But no, it really is true. Two months after “liberating” Iraq,
the Anglo-American authorities and their boss Paul Bremer - whose habit
of wearing combat boots with a black suit continues to amaze his
colleagues - have decided to control the new and free Iraqi press.

We took their guns, as well. I’m guessing protesting is only allowed so
the pundits can say “this is something the Iraqi’s haven’t been able to
do since the beginning of Saddam’s rule.” So they’re only sorta
liberated. But we’re safer, right? Well, if by safer you mean a spike
in Al-Qaeda’s recruitment and missing WMDs, which were shipped out of
the country, destroyed, or were never there in the first place. None of
which mean we are really safer than we were before. But we’ve brought
Middle East peace closer to reality, right? Uhhhh, we’ll just skip that
one.
