No News Is Still Bad News

Our allies don’t want us to see the result of the bombings. But then, our President hasn’t wanted us to see the result of the bombings–U.S. coffins–either. Next: No stories about the Iraqi parliament (it wants us to leave)? And after that: No photos of wounded U.S. soldiers recuperating in military hospitals?

Not sure what the networks’ policy will be, but it should be this: extensive coverage of Iraqi police and military denying access to bombing sites.
