I heard them talking about this on Free Speech Radio News tonight...very
disturbing.  Thanks for posting this link.  The media was terribly
uniform during the first gulf war, and we can only hope it will be more
diverse this time around.  They made the first gulf war seem like a
video game, where nobody is hurt.  My understanding is that they are not
going to do pool reporting this time, they are going to be deploying
reporters with the troops this time.  But the thought that they aren't
letting anybody who has reservations about the war report is troubling.

I think by keeping the satellite uplinks down, they will effectively
ensure that the people of America do not know of any atrocities until
long after it's too late to stop them.
