On a near regular basis I would see raw MMY footage being edited to remove sections that did not adhere to top administrators' ideal of what MMY should say. Usually international did this but every once in a while MIU video would edit some of these tapes. I also saw them do this on a Triguna tape where the edit completely reversed his intended meaning. The person editing the tape showed me the raw footage and the finished product. He told me that he was directly told by someone in the MIU administration to edit particular parts of the tape. > > > > > > > > > ------------------------ Yahoo!
