Ah....American democracy, where you can have your media - as long as it says what we want it to.
Under the guise of Iraq Governing Council, the U.S. has raided the offices of Saudi television news network Al-Arabiya; banned its broadcasts, and threatened its journalists with imprisionment.

"The correspondent said the officers told employees they were banned from broadcasting any reports from Iraq, and that they would be fined $1,000 and imprisoned for a year for each violation. " - Associated Press
So....that would mean that U.S. networks who are reporting the SAME NEWS should be held to the same standard?
Correct?
