[YOUR EDITOR thought there was something odd about those TV stories
describing the removal of the Saddam statue. Why had this spontaneous
crowd gathered only on one side of the statue? Why no long shots? And why
were those people in the background going about their urban business as
though nothing was happening? DC Indymedia has the answer.]

DC INDY MEDIA - The up-close action video of the statue being destroyed is
broadcast around the world as proof of a massive uprising. Still photos
grabbed off of Reuters show a long-shot view of Fardus Square... It's
empty save for the U.S. Marines, the international press, and a small
handful of Iraqis. There are no more than 200 people in the square at
best. The Marines have the square sealed off and guarded by tanks. A U.S.
mechanized vehicle is used to pull the statue of Saddam from it's base.
The entire event is being hailed as an equivalent of the Berlin Wall
falling... but even a quick glance of the long-shot photo shows something
more akin to a carefully constructed media event tailored for the
television cameras.
