I Was a Mouthpiece For The American Military

Harper's Magazine recently published a very interesting article about the American Military's involvment in censoring news and reports coming out of Iraq. It's incredible how much control they demand over everything they touch, and it has gotten severly out of control.

From The Article:

In an interesting interview published this week in Foreign Policy, Newsweek's Rod Nordland spoke about the difficulties of reporting from Iraq. He said that the Bush Administration has been largely successful in managing the news “to the extent that most Americans are not aware of just how dire it is and how little progress has been made” and revealed that some embedded reporters “have been blacklisted because the military wasn’t happy with [their] work.”


Over at Digg they are having a very interesting discussion about it and I suggest you check it out.
