From the New Hampshire Union / Leader:
Like Moore, the Al Jazeera journalists refuse to follow the official script. They refuse to airbrush the reality they put on display to their 40 million Arab viewers. Thus we see the blood and entrails of the Iraqi wounded; we hear their screams. We see frightened American POWs. We see American corpses, which one commentator thought might be “especially jarring to U.S. viewers,” since such sights do not, after all, make it to the television screens of the folks back home.Yeah, bring 'em on.
The official script has us bringing democracy to Iraq. The raw reality purveyed by independent media outlets shows us bringing fear, pain and death.
