And of course, there are reasons why you might find independent voices from Iraq useful in the time ahead. Not having heard RTE (Irish national radio) in some time – though I do get their useful email updates – it was strange coming across a random link to a breaking story. Seems the US military are threatening to bomb journalists who run their own satellite uplinks from Iraq. It strikes me that such actions would breach the Geneva conventions – involving targeting of civilian operations. Though I presume they would have no problem redefining broadcasting as a WMD….
