Baghdad is still broadcasting because we want them to. Only mass media will be able to get their liberation out and direct the Iraqi's to aid as fast as we need them to. Deploying a TV station takes time. Taking their's over is the easiest.
With the incredible displays of destruction unleashed on Bagdad, I'm amazed at only 3 dead and 200 injured. Lights stay on, radio station still broadcasting.
If I were an Iraqi, I'd be very grateful to be alive.
