2. It isn't needed

The state media only praises Our Dear Leader's every move. It would be better to caption the news, "Cleared by White House Censors."

4. I must disagree

Newsweek provided the Pentagon with an advance copy of this story.

Now the Pentagon, along with the White House, is trying to pretend it didn't happen.

9. The *real* question in all of this...

Is "How many middle easterners read Newsweek?"

Especially, the American Edition?

Not many... Plus, I doubt the issue in question had
even hit the stands in rural Afghanistan.

5. "This Article cleared by GOP Censors"

Screw our "News Media" with a splintery fence post.

Rove: "Recant your story, or face the WRATH of the Bush Inquisiton!"

Media: "Oh, NO! Ohmigawd, NOT our precious ACCESS! PLEASE Mr. Rove, don't take our precious ACCESS away! We can't LIVE without the daily dingleberries from Scotty Mac's asshole!"

10. TRUE! It's a CYA move by a horsewhipped media

And it would make clear what's been happening
