With the firing of Peter Arnett by NBC and National Geographic, our news from Iraq takes a real hit. Peter enraged the Administration, or someone, when he agreed and did an interview with the Iraqi news outlet. He spoke the truth when he reputedly said that we were not prepared for the stiff resistance the Iraqi's put up. Peter Arnett is a Pulitizer Prize winner and has world stature that should allow him to speak the truth anywhere he speaks. I am afraid that NBC, et al, have been influenced by the Bush regime's "No more free speech" if it is about the poor job they have done in the planning and prosecution of this illegal war. Liberal voices in our country are being shut down one by one. The neocon far right wing is at work through their puppet in our White House. Mark my words, more and more dissent will be shut down by the Bush-Chaney-Wolfowitz crowd. All true Americans should be afraid, very afraid.
