As we all know the international press is surpressed in Iraq. Other wise there would be numerous photos and video of the impossible conditions there.
Even the troops have had all of their cell phones and recording devices confiscated from them to prevent any controversial photos from leaking out.
A good friend of mine (a CON) just got back from Iraq, he is a lance corporal marine. And towards the end of his tour he was ordered to completely stop e-mailing already heavliy censured photos home to his family.
BTW he is slated to go back in the future.
But of even more interest in manipulation of the Media by Bush et al is the Homeland Security Alert system. Seems without provacation they have raised the threat level assesment to ELEVATED for some strange reason that only satisfies the Republican Party in the upcoming election cycle...read for your self:

Thisis the fear mongering that Bush put into use in 2004 being employeed yet again.
