Freedom of the Press in Iraq

Saturday 27th September 2003 | by chris [mail] | Categories: POLITICS

Just as long as that press belongs to the USA.
Al-Jazeera, based in Qatar, and al-Arabiya, in the United Arab Emirates, both have large teams of reporters in Iraq and are widely watched by locals. They frequently broadcast graphic images of the daily attacks on US soldiers, and much of their reporting has been deeply critical of the military occupation, often openly doubting the military's version of events.
Iraq's governing council is to take action against the Arabic television networks al-Jazeera and al-Arabiya for what it calls "incitement to violence" in their reporting about Iraq.S ome sources in Baghdad said the council intended to expel the two leading Arabic channels from the country for a month.
