You are very correct about the propaganda. It insults our intelligence. I noticed even in Afghanistan war: the enemy reports downing aircraft/helicopters....US claims no missing aircraft/helicopters....US confirms aircraft/helicopter crash but always accidental. smells fishy or they better train their pilots better.
G Bush gets upset about American prisoners of war being shown on Iraq TV; states it is against the Geneva convention. Yet hours earlier, I had wonder why Cnn was now showing closeups of Iraqi POWs; and has G Bush forgot the POWs the US is holding in Guantanamo Bay without any such protection simply by calling them by names other than POW. According to the
Red Cross; they are prisoners.
CNN has suddenly developed a saintly conscience. I realize that propaganda is another tool of war and to keep up moral but this stuff is so transparent and insulting to any intelligence level.
