Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Iraq to Bar Media Coverage of Bombings

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Iraq to Bar Media Coverage of Bombings:

"Iraq’s interior ministry has decided to bar news photographers and camera
operators from the scenes of bomb attacks, operations director Brigadier General
Abdel Karim Khalaf said on Sunday (local time).
His announcement was the
latest in a series of attempts to curtail press coverage of the ongoing
conflict, which has already attracted criticism from international human rights
bodies. "


One do they think they can hide the fact that the country is violent.
Two is it their belief that reporters will begin to cover those often talked about topics that the press doesn't cover since they can't cover bombings.
Three, how about our military defending our presses right to cover a war that is being paid for with out tax money.
