Extreme Censorship By U.S. Military
The U.S. military now resorts to false
arrests and imprisonment of journalists so as to censor their atrocious
criminal actions.
Bilal, 36, was arrested on 12 April 2006
by foreign forces Ramadi Iraq (110 km west of Baghdad) after invading
U.S. forces entered his home in order to hijack his home and turn it
into a temporary observation post. How would you the average U.S.
citizen appreciate Iraqi soldiers turning their homes into “temporary
observation posts”?
Bilal, who like many other Iraqi’s was
unfortunate enough to have the same last name as the dictator the CIA
placed in Iraq before the U.S. military illegally invaded the oil
producing Nation. Our government has held Bilal for more than a year and
a half without so much as even charging him with any crime. The U.S.
government says however, that new evidence has emerged. Independent
investigations into Bilal reveal that he was simply a good news
photographer.
When the truth becomes so dangerous that
our government must throw photographers in jail for recording it, how
should one treat such a government?
Is a photographer who is simply taking
pictures of what our government is doing out in the public committing a
crime? Are pictures exposing the crimes committed by our government
“convincing and irrefutable evidence” that a photographer “is a threat
to stability and security of Iraq”? Bilal apparently took pictures of
Iraqi freedom fighters and this got the invasion forces angry. What
exactly is our government trying to hide? Are we the U.S.A. advocating
the arrest and detention of people for years without any charges or
trial? Is this not one of he reasons criminals in our government gave to
justify invading the Nation of Iraq?
Should we the people of a nation that is
meant to reflect liberty, freedom and justice for all put up with such
outrageous behavior by our own government and military?
The overt and blatant disregard for the
most elementary forms of justice and due process under the law by the
U.S. government is astonishing. The censored reporting in the U.S. of
this outrageous behavior by our government, would be equally as
astonishing if we were not aware that five corporations control all the
major media channels, all connected to the same oligarchy that controls
our government from afar. How much longer however do we need to put up
with this nonsense?
False arrests, without any probable
cause, without evidence or proof of any wrongdoing other than
documenting the truth are now common place in the U.S. governed Iraq.
Perhaps, the only question remaining, is how soon these practices will
be brought back to the U.S. by our out of control government for use on
U.S. citizens? |
