Is there a news blackout on stories coming out of Iraq?

Advertisements [?]

I mean, other than the regular censorship and under-reported stories we are used to from the MSM? I have heard nothing of Iraq all summer and the stories I do hear in the MSM are little bits and pieces. I assume they are trying to take the heat off of all the allegations of US soldiers mistreating Iraqi civilians. There were a lot of allegations just before this current blackout. I guess the boys at the Ministry of Truth decided we didn't need to hear anything about Iraq this summer, might spoil people's barbecues and weekends at the beach.
