BBC:Baghdad on edge as curfew bites.
2008-03-30
One would think that BBC is in support of current curfew in Baghdad, which stops terrorists from carrying attacks :

The curfew means no vehicles at all can move - except for those of the police and military.

That, of course, makes it much harder for militiamen to move around.

They cannot transport supplies or ammunition. They cannot carry the 107mm rockets that are plaguing this city to launching sites.

If they try, they risk being spotted by American overhead surveillance - perhaps by unmanned drones or helicopters.

But, as usually, they donÂ’t want you see any positive sides of it. They made sure to list and describe all the possible horror outcomes for people in Baghad. Such as flour will finish in 4-5 days or:

“Those who would normally work complain they are stuck at home, listening to long discussions between neighbors of the rights and wrongs of Prime Minister Nouri Maliki’s confrontation with the militias.”

Of course they fail to mention that it does work, no suicide bombings, no sectarian violence and there is always and end to the curfews.
