Was this event publicized anywhere in the main media over the past week? It should have been. With the help of our volunteer forces in Iraq,
a new radio station opens for broadcast. Gee, good news out of Iraq.
"This is a great day for Balad Ruiz and
its people," said Mayor Mohammed Maroof Al-Hussein, city mayor. "I
think this is a new stage for our city and a new way to serve our
people. "This is a free station," he continued. "The people can say what they want, they can speak freely." With
the help of the 5-73, civilians will now be able to hear news and get
more information in their homes other than what terrorists want to put
out, said the mayor."
This web-site: "Operation Iraq Freedom" lists all of the official press releases from Multi-National force, Iraq. Just for curiosity: of the 50 releases since thursday last week, 41 would have been considered 'good news', 2 of the remaining were news of Iraq civilians being killed by insurgents. Make your own conclusions.
