Charlie Rose: The Iraqi Perspective
From "What can and cannot be spoken on television" by Glenn Greenwald:
In that author's words:
The significance of the interview lies as much in what it says about the American occupation of Iraq as it what it illustrates about the American media. In the American media's discussions of Iraq, when are the perspectives expressed here about our ongoing occupation -- views extremely common among Iraqis of all types and grounded in clear, indisputable facts -- ever heard by the average American news consumer? The answer is: "virtually never."I had never heard this perspective. It's important, and everyone who cares about what happens to Iraq and the Iraqis needs to watch this video.
