So, are you suggesting a full censorship of news?  Going into a police
state?  Do you want our government to take over the full control of news
telling us exactly the way our government would like us to hear?  Man, going
to Viet Name did not learn yourself a thing.  You are one of the very few
that came back without learning anything.  I am beginning to wonder if you
are one of those Viet-Nam-want-to-be-there's?

Oh, blow me. I get so tired of these effete whiners. This guy's such a
blithering idiot, he never mentions the media's unflagging
determination to slant and spin war coverage ten ways from Sunday. I'm
surprised they let them in at ALL. We went through this shit in
Vietnam - I remember some story showing a teenage Vietnamese girl,
lying dead on the ground. "Killed by American troops." They didn't
mention, of course, that this cute little girl had been up in a tree
and had just killed three American guys with an AK47.

And of course he never mentions the middle eastern, far eastern and
russian media, which continues to portray this conflict as an attempt
by the U.S. to "take over and colonize the entire region," and to
"seize our precious oil resources for itself." A major Jordan
newspaper recently ran a story on how the U.S. was "carpet-bombing
civilian areas in Baghdad."

I guess he's not even slightly concerned about Iraqi fathers being
forced to drive explosive-laden trucks into American tanks, knowing
their families will be slaughtered if they don't.  He's not concerned
about somebody being run feet-first through a wood chipper for
accidentally chuckling about Saddam in public. He's not concerned
about Saddam's Feyadeen tying children to the outside of their
military vehicles. He's really not concerned about anything, except
his delusions of self-glorification.
