Shit... I hope it works. But I think it's going to take a little more than that. |
So much for the new iraqi constitution and its acceptance regarding Freedom of Speech and Press huh.
This is in part coming from an embedded journalist video taping a group of americans beating the skull in of an Iraqi "insurgent" through a sniper's scope and the American media not allowing the Footage to be aired, so he gave the footage to AlJazeera, they showed it. I have been folowing this story since it broke this a.m .
Its strange to me that the media outlets in this region of the world broadcast the public beheadings of their convicted criminals, but are chastized by the USA ( only now ) after showing the footage of
Americans and a public beating.
