Misadministration censoring news from Iraq
"It’s a lot worse over here than is reported. The administration does a great job of managing the news.- Rod Nordland, Newsweek.
[But] you can only manage the news to a certain degree. It is certainly hard to hide the fact that in the third year of this war, Iraqis are only getting electricity for about 5 to 10 percent of the day. Living conditions have gotten so much worse, violence is at an even higher tempo, and the country is on the verge of civil war. The administration has been successful to the extent that most Americans are not aware of just how dire it is and how little progress has been made. They keep talking about how the Iraqi army is doing much better and taking over responsibilities, but for the most part that’s not true. It is extremely dangerous."
