What does it take

to get the mainstream US media to report--not to support, but just to report--any take on the misery in Iraq except our own? Don't they read the onsite weblogs?

Of course they do. So why don't we hear anything, anything at all, of what they report?

And even the unbiased media are failing to pick up on what Riverbend's blog has observed: That the Marines' siege of Fallujah, the massive number of civilian casualties and the latest re-invasion of the city is absolutely forbidden under international law as "collective punishment." Forbidden because it was practiced by the most heinous of armed forces, most recently, the Nazis.
