There will be, however, any number of White House minions and repugs who will tout all the "progress" being made in Iraq. There will be no photos to tell us otherwise; the soldiers have had their email curtailed; and the war correspondent reports will be censored first, then overshadowed by the number of "positive reports" from the politicians. There would be no other way to assure that the public does not object when, in September, the "surge" is extended again and "more time" is needed. One would think that the msm would be incensed at this further dictatorial censorship of the press, but nary a peep from them; their complicity is part of the plan.
