Government extends its secrecy shield Hiding the Bad News Luckily there are now so many news sources, Bush can't cover everything up like his daddy did with Iran-Contra.

theavonlady 2 Posted November 6, 2003 Um, back on topic................ First, 2 more soldiers killed and a Polish officer was wounded: Two More U.S. Soldiers Killed in Iraq Quote[/b] ]41 minutes ago By ROBERT H. REID, Associated Press Writer BAGHDAD, Iraq - Two American soldiers were killed in separate attacks near Baghdad and along the Syrian border, the U.S. military said Thursday, and a Polish major was seriously wounded in an ambush south of the capital. Second, while that Washington Post article was interesting, the fact is that the stories of the dead and wounded and more are on the WEB, on TV and radio and in the newspapers.

Sad news indeed. Quote[/b] ]Poland was allied with the United States and Britain in the war that toppled the regime of Saddam Hussein (news - web sites) seven months ago. It now commands a 9,000-strong multinational force patrolling a large swathe of central and southern Iraq. It has 2,500 soldiers in oil-rich Iraq, the fourth largest military contingent after the United States, Britain and Italy. I never knew Italy had forces present in iraq. Were they there before the end of the'official' fighting? What other countries other than Britain, Australia, America and Poland that had combat troops on the ground during the 'official fighting'?

denoir 0 Posted November 6, 2003 HaCensorship We have it in the UK too http://www.channel4.com/news/2003/11/week_1/05_royal.html You wont find that on the BBC or the Mail on Sunday or the guardian sources regularly used in this thread and all Gagged That's nothing odd. The Royal family has special treatement in Sweden as well. The media has an unspoken agreement not to embarrass them as it does not serve any purpose. For instance it's common knowledge that our king is notoriously unfaithful, that our queen has had a couple of plastic operations, that the eldest prince is gay and that the crown princess has anorexia/bulemia. It gets reported from time to time, but generally the media avoids the subject. That doesn't necessarily mean that they censor relevant news. And I don't see how prince Charles being gay would qualify as relevant news. It's his own business, hardly relevant for the country to know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theavonlady 2 Posted November 6, 2003 And I don't see how prince Charles being gay would qualify as relevant news. Two possible relevant headlines: THE MEN WHO WOULD BE KING or............ THE MAN WHO WOULD BE QUEEN. As for Sweden's royalty, let's sing!

walker 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Hi Denoir The reasons it is relevant are: The Man who is said to be Prince Charles's boyfriend is the one accused of raping another butler in the palace. The police have not pursued the case why? Work it out. If true the alegations raise questions about the paternity of William and Harry. If Prince Charles is King he is head of the Church of England which does not allow leaders to be be Gay. There was a big fus about a gay bishop in the US. The most important thing is that this was not self censorship as you described happens in Sweden. It is real you go to jail type China Censorship. If it can happen on such a minnor thing it is very worying for what gets published in suposedly reputable UK press about important matters like Iraq.

EiZei 0 Posted November 6, 2003 http://abcnews.go.com/sections/GMA/Primetime/GMA031106LynchBook.html Quote[/b] ]Nov. 6? Jessica Lynch, the former Army private who was captured in Iraq, rescued in a daring nighttime operation and returned home to a hero's welcome, was brutally assaulted, according to her soon-to-be-released authorized biography. The book cites intelligence reports that indicate Lynch was treated brutally and says medical records confirm she was anally penetrated. However, the book says she has no memory of the event. Exaggeration or did she take some "for the team"? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

feersum.endjinn 6 Posted November 6, 2003 Though previous comments are tasteless, there still do not warrant post restriction in my opinion. Couple of previous pages were about anal rapings of royal princes or whether this-or-that prince is gay or not. Jessica Lynch did come public with this information herself, royal servant in question did not have such luxury to have decision in his hand. She could have been silent, and all records of her ordeals would be sealed and never released during her lifetime, instead she accepted book and movie deals and got paid millions of dollars for that. If someone needs to be banned, then ban all posters of anal rape discussion. To allow joking about one victim and disapprove another just because one is just servant in royal family and other is war hero is just hypocrisy, especially when Mrs. Lynch told her story for voluntarily.

walker 0 Posted November 6, 2003 Hi all http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/3249031.stm A spokesman for Prince Charles has denied the alegation but the BBC dont know what he is denying cause we are not alowed to discuss it "Alice!

How about you let someone who is not from the coalition decide, like a moderator from Germany or France or Russia. Ahh, don't got one? Maybe a Canadian will suffice, but you never know with Canadians. Ok Walker, no offense to you but I find all things related to British royals utterly... un-important.
