A kind of interesting article from the Wall Street Journal: Army Orders Troops to Seize TV Station in Northwest Iraq: A Major Balks at Directive And Gets Relieved of Duty. Evidently we don't mind local warlords filling the airwaves with self-serving propaganda, but when they start carrying Al-Jazeera we get upset.

Sorry if I wasn't clear in my comment. It was meant to be a question to the Army, not to you. I don't think it should be their job to do that. I find it ironic that we're trying to make sure there is democracy in Iraq at the same time we're denying them a free press.

I can just see the Army coming home and deciding they need to do the same thing to the American press. Now that would be funny.
