The level of censorship involved with hiding this war from the public is unexceptionable, but governments and the war industry learned that when the public views real war, they don't like it - and try to stop it. So the war, the civilian dead, the soldiers really haven't been visible that much in our media -- how old is the war in Iraq/Afghanistan? At this rate they are already mentioning they will not be pulling out before 2011 -- making it ten years,what do we have to show for almost 10 years of war, but more veterans with wounds we can't afford to support in the years to come, a shortage of men in the smallest generation in our country.. and nothing to show for it but trillions of dollars to the war industry. We need more pictures, not less. People don't read, and reading doesn't get to the emotions or really convey the horror of what we are doing -- pictures do, that is why the government has restricted them. And the media who are owned by companies with relationships with war industries fear to show them.
