Always Fair and Balanced

Setting an example for all freedom loving Iraqi people, the Coalition Provision Authority (CPA) is stomping on the freedom of the press by ordering the police in the town of Samawa to withhold security information from the Japanese media covering the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force activities in the area.

Apparently, the local authorities got their nickers in a twist when the Japanese media reported security problems in the area, and of course, the solution to the security problem – or at least anybody knowing that there IS a security problem is clamp down on media’s ability to report any security problems.

I am happy to report that the police in Samawa are not reporting any more security problems.

Problem solved.
