What happnened in Iraq was a crime of epic proportions. Not because of the war...but because of stories like this that never got told to the world public. If Iraq would've had half the coverage...and even half the truths, of Kosovo, this war may not have even been necessary. The media "could've" created enough outrage by exposing the true brutallity of this regime that Saddam would've been isolated, internationally. And if war did come, that exposure should've been enough to sway even the most cynical, making an international coaltion a given.

Instead, we had journalists covering the crimes of one of this centuries most barbaric regimes so they could gain access. After reading about this little girl, the media should be ashamed of themselves...but instead of even retroactively covering this brutallity, they ignore it and still try to justify their opposition to this war and this criminal. When this is over, someone has to answer for the media's participation in protecting a butcher and literally obstructing a war to rid the world of his barbarism. From the BBC's lies, to CNN's lies, these individuals helped enable and empower, one of the worst creatures on this planet. I am truly disgusted.

Very well said, and tragically true.

The press must know. The evidence is available to anyone who does basic research.
