Thanks Stackem - very interesting.

ninty9 - isn't that article from India? It is interesting also, but the number of attacks, etc don't seem to jive with what the guy on the ground reports. As for the highlighted quotes, many of the rules about what you can show (pictures of prisoners, etc) was part of the Geneva Convention wasn't it? Or does that not apply to the media. Maybe not, I'm not sure. But if you ask a guy that has written a story that was edited, even if it is an article about the local spelling bee, I would be surprised if you didn't get 15 or 20% of them complaining that their story was not what they wrote.
