American and Bush love affair...i truly believe that the press is being told what not to run.

Djinn, what I keep hearing is that thanks to the languages being so esoteric and the areas of the globe involved being so sparsely populated, it's less a case of the press being told what not to run than all information being funneled through a single source: the Pentagon. One "journalist watcher" (I think that's the latest euphemism) I heard recently termed it "a daily orchestrated flower show." So everybody is basically giving the Pentagon line, whatever their inclinations to do otherwise. Whether this will change remains to be seen.
