Last Friday afternoon NPR did a report on the symphony orchestra of Baghdad, with an emphasis on the impact of sanctions on the cultural life of Iraq. Lots of interviews of various musicians. The program *did* end with the disclaimer that all interviews happened with minders present, so it's impossible to know if the interviewees spoke their true thoughts and feelings.
