war, what is it good for
The war the media isn't coveringI mean, seriously, is it censorship or what? Because, you would think this stuff would make for great ratings which is what the media is all about. People would be glued to their sets, talking about it, debating, protesting, creating even more news and ratings... I know they aren't allowed to show caskets of American soldiers, but what other rules, regulations, and threats have been implemented to cause the media to completely avoid any real coverage of the war and the current state of affairs?
When the media is not truly free, it makes me feel very very frightened....

Message to George:
The sentence that most scares me in the article is, "It is becoming very clear to me that war can shatter a society and what it becomes as it puts itself back together can become a warped malefic grotesquerie -- a social organism that eagerly eats itself alive." The Bush administration never considered the mess they would leave behind. George thought it would be like in the movies where after you kill all the bad guys the army men drive through the conquered streets and all the grateful citizens throw confetti.
Welcome to reality George we have no clue who the bad guys are and instead of confetti they are throwing grenades or Molotov cocktails, burning each other and our young soldiers alive. Thanks buddy. No wonder you want to keep a lid on it.
Is this stuff really not in the news? I read the New York Times, and this stuff is in there all the time.
