Anyway, Drudge was actually bemoaning what he views as increasing censorship in the name of patriotism, and covering up of the reality of what's going on in Iraq and elsewhere. He was also talking about the news yesterday that the FBI is - once again - spying on protest groups, and he actually had the good sense to say that he did not want to see dissent suppressed because, as he put it, the "next time a left-wing administration takes over" in the U.S., HE wants to be able to protest, and if things keep going the way they are, he won't be able too. He referred to the photos of the cops in Miami dealing with the protesters down there and said it looked like cops in a banana republic - - and this is coming from a darling of the Right. - -----Original Message----- From: owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us [mailto:owner-leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us] On Behalf Of Tim Atherton Sent: Monday, November 24, 2003 3:30 PM To: leica-users@mejac.palo-alto.ca.us Cc: NPPA-L@LISTSERV.CMICH.EDU Subject: [Leica] DEADLINE IRAQ - Uncensored Stories of the War - CBC Those of you north of the border (or south who are close enough to it to get CBC) - this is a very compelling documentary about news gathering in the Iraq War. "These are the stories that weren't't told by the media during the Iraq war. CBC NEWS goes straight to the source, to journalists, camera operators and photographers from news organizations around the world, who reveal the lethal risks they faced, as well as the untold horrors they witnessed." There was a one hour version on last night. The full two hour version is supposed on next Sunday on CBC at 10pm I think. tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
