Iraqi Broadcasters Risk Being Closed If They Put Saddam's Voice On Air: "After telling the world that most Iraqis are delighted with their 'liberation' and forthcoming 'democracy', the authorities are obviously aware that many Iraqis don't feel that way at all. Journalists must also inform the authorities of 'any acts of sabotage, criminal activity, terrorism or any violent action ... before or after an attack takes place'.
Journalists - even those with al-Jazeera - do not receive advance warning of ambushes. The rule is in effect asking them to become assistants to the occupation authorities. "
