" Yah, even the American press, itself filled to the brim with this newfound patriotism, has kowtowed to Bush on this "war." The pabulum we're being spoon-fed from the Bush people in no way tells the story. We haven't heard an estimate of Taliban casualties, which may be approaching 12,000 DEAD. Have Americans or the world heard that? Do we know anything about what is happening inside Afghanistan except what the administration wants us to hear? No way! **Adminstrationn misdirection of hard news started in the Vietnam War, was refined in the Gulf War and has come to full fruition in this war. Death rides our bombs but we get more propaganda about the Taliban. We are being forced to listen to our side about Khadahar, where stupid Arab Taliban are making it easy for the stories to focus on them as opposed to what is actually happening. Our bombs are forcing the populations into minefields to escape them. Won't hear about that in our now cowardly American press.
