No freedom of press in Iraq

Bush can keep talking about creating a free and democratic Iraq, but I would wager he’s  wanting an Iraq brand of freedom: al-Arabiya, one of the Middle East’s top 24-hour news channels, has been ordered to stop broadcasting from Baghdad for a month.

This is the second time al-Arabiya is censored by the Iraqi government since the US invasion.
Al-Jazeera was banned two years ago and still remains blacklisted in Iraq.
