| #11 Oh I am SO upset! Well not really. It seems the media is embeded with the Jihadis. Screw them. New slogan; "If you with Jihadis embed, then you be dead" |

| #9 When are boys are swatting Mosquetos, they don't need a bunch of Mooooslum sympathizing, left-leaning reporters getting in their way. The media is the single biggest impediment to us winning this war. |

| #7 Taking the offensive by taking out the "offensive" Al Jizz-types of propaganda combatants is the first step of the Iraqi govt in getting a handle on the Iran and others backed terrorists. Good move. There is still hope. |

| #6 Lefty moonbat mode: Last week's arrest of revered media authority Mike Wallace in New York was obviously intended to telegraph a message. |

| #4 Concerns about the interim government's commitment to freedom of the press were sparked Aug. 7 when officials order the Baghdad office of the pan-Arab television station Al-Jazeera closed. "How will we write convincing-sounding anti-American propaganda if we can't get anywhere near the action??? Ethel! My salts! ETHEL!!!!" |

| #3 Exhibit A in this tribunal's case against the the AP/Reuters/AFP Axis: Yahoo slideshow from August 10th Of 202 images in this particular item, only two showed American forces: a burning Humvee and a distant helicopter. In contrast, there were literally dozens of heroically posed shots of the mujaheddin. The style of these would be immediately familiar to anyone whose studies have included the propaganda techniques of the Third Reich. Under international law, governments have every right in the world to suppress hostile propaganda in time of conflict. A number of US court rulings support this as well, not that US law is relevant in this case. International law has even prescribed the ultimate penalty for particularly egregious cases of media incitement. Julius Streicher: follow his path, share his fate. |

| #2 My thought was with Iraqi's leading the attack,presure may be brought on the shrine itself. |
