NUKE: The powers that be on the coalition media department.
Very little leaves Iraq without the approval of the coalition. If you think you know anything about what goes on in Iraq in reality today, you're mistaken.
And btw. Nuke you're 100% right about what you said.. Saddam truly didn't let those pictures spread out. He was the master of control and ingenious in propaganda. Just look at his selection for Information minister..

It's so much easyer to kill and torture people if they just disappear from thier homes and nobody ever hears from them again.
We all are fed only the information that the coalition wants us to have. We were all fed only with the information Saddam wanted us to have when he was in power.
I never questioned the authenticity of the pictures, it would just be dumb to state those are the pictures you will never see from the war. The reality couldn't be any more different.
And to Grunherz: Your fellow Americans will find out with certainty that you're an opportunist backstabber. You've already proved yourself enough, no need to further resort in low class attacks.
