It's a violation of the laws of war to prevent civilians from watching reruns of Friends.

There MUST be a reason why we haven't done this. I do not profess to know what that reason is. Perhaps keeping Iraqi television on, is pacifying the population, before we roll into town.
From what I understand, they no longer have al Jazeera, and they do have Iraqi TV news, plus a teenage-type program on the air.
Perhaps the populace of Baghdad is intelligent enough to be able to detect propaganda more than we would believe. Perhaps the populace is growing sick of seeing Saddam's taped image on the air, spouting off comments that do not equate with reality. That must speak volumes to the people of Iraq.

I have to assume we want to make use of the facilties once Saddam is ousted. Cut 'em some slack for once they're giving the US taxpayers a break, you know who'd get stuck re-building them!

I have to agree. We ought to knock out their propaganda machine.

Maybe our people know what they are doing.
Iraq TV can report the truth or report lies.
The lies will be obvious to those living where the truth is in front of them or in front of trusted friends who are still in communication.
The truth will not help either.
We are learning not to trust our predominently liberal media. The Iraquis have already learned, I am sure, that their media is even more untrustworthy.

Why'd you move this to chat? This is a good, serious topic to discuss.
But it's your site, so you can do what you want.

How do we take Iraqi TV off the air?
