Re: Is it time to pull out of Iraq?
I understand that we need both freedom of speech and of press but feel that the commercial side of it has overtaken the moral. Can you imagine if in 1944 the press had been as open as it is now? Our troops are still at risk as is national security. I can imagine the headlines in 1944 "Rumours of troop build up continue" "Normandy possible invasion point" "Government denies build up, we demand the truth!" " Germans expect attack in north"etc etc etc. Good old John Snow would be covering every possible attack point along with step by step breakdown of our equipment and the possibilities of failure, success and stalemate. All this presented in lovely 3D!
You get the picture. I just think that sometimes it is better not to know in the interests of us all.
