On propoganda, big-pub news and editorial integrity in wartime.

[...] When it comes to Dear Raed, it's not as if the information on his site isn't already accessible world-wide. It's not information that's going to threaten our troops on the ground. It's not going to supply any strategic or tactical advantage to Iraqi troops since after all they're in Baghdad already. But what it does do is bring a human face into public view -- the face of an average person who happens to be on the other side of the walls of the Pentagon propoganda machine. It takes us out of our videogame mentality with our animated 3-D maps, rendered helicopters and tanks, and night-vision-enhanced smart-bomb footage. Hopefully it gives us a glimpse into the real human reprecussions of what's going on.[Jake's Radio 'Blog]

P.S.: I don't know if this is the same article that has been pulled from the CNN site, but it has exactly the same beginning that can be seen on CNN search results.

At least here, at all peace rallies thousands of people are waving rainbow peace flags. An estimate of 2 millions Italian families have hanged a peace flag on their windows. At the same time pro-war rallies here and in the rest of the world are usually coloured with american flags. Is the american flag becoming a war symbol? Think.
