greg palast says is best...

the one problem I have with AP on Yahoo is that good stories can be GONE minutes later...such as one I nearly posted this morning about Rumsfeld not being happy about the "global media" being able to report stories immediately, potentially "twisting the truth" and making the US look bad.

This article from Greg Palast (sent to me by my friend Fred) brings up how Condi Rice was "apalled" that stories like the Koran desecration get out. Not the actions, but the stories. We all know that this administration has been trying to hide the truth about the war by using everything from banning photos of soldiers coffins, to fake news stories, to causing Newsweek to retract Michael Isikoff's story about an interrogator flushing a Koran. But why no one is taking note of the callousness...of their being more concerned that the US looks bad (guess what, we already do), rather than being concerned that such actions are occruing, let alone being carried out by American interrogators and soldiers, boggles the mind...
