Press Watchdogs Concerned About Press Freedom in Iraq: "International press watchdogs and human rights groups say they are increasingly concerned about press freedom in Iraq (news - web sites).
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) this week said it was 'deeply troubled' by the decision of Iraq's governing council, which makes recommendations to the U.S.-led Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq, to bar two major Arab satellite television stations from entering governing ministries or covering the council's press conferences.
At the same time, Reporters Without Borders, an international group based in Paris, 'strongly condemned' the Council's decision, calling it a 'clear and blatant attack on press freedom.' "
