BUSH - A Clear and Present Danger

If BUSH does not like what you say or do... Bush makes a couple quick phone calls. This is why no network will carry pictures of dead bodies or caskets from the war. In foreign countries where he does not have political control over the news source, he simply orders a Clear and Present Danger style shut-up hit.

According to a recent article in the Daily Mirror, Bush ordered the bombing of al-Jazeera's headquarters building in Doha for reporting behind rebel lines and broadcasting pictures of dead soldiers, private contractors and Iraqi victims. Yesterday, he followed-up with a gag order on publishing further details on the story.

In 2001 the al-Jazeera's Kabul office was demolished by two 500-pound "smart" bombs.

On April 8, 2003, al-Jazeera reporter Tareq Ayyoub was killed in a US missile strike on the station's Baghdad office.

On April 8, 2003, more journalists, Julio Anguita Parrado and Christian Liebig were killed south of Baghdad.

On September 12, 2004, Mazen Al-Tomaizi, a Palestinian television journalist working for Saudi news channel Al-Ekhbariya and Arab satellite channel Al-Arabiya, was killed yesterday by an American missile as he was reporting live from Baghdad on deadly clashes between US forces and insurgents.

On June 24, 2005 Yasser Salihee, an Iraqi special correspondent for the news agency Knight Ridder, was asassinated by a single bullet to the head for investigating US-backed death squads in Iraq.
