You are aware, are you not, that Iraq is still considered a hostile environment and is under occupation? Does the act of closing a hostile newspaper under such conditions surprise you? Do you think the occupying powers in Germany after WW2 allowed the Nazi papers to continue publication?

Papers IN THE US were censored, did you know that?
During World War II, "emergency" powers reached a zenith that Americans can only hope will never be surpassed.

Officially, newspaper censorship was "voluntary," but significant arm-twisting kept most of the media in-line with the official message. Some publications were banned from the mail or even closed.

Oh, FDR, a noted liberal, was POTUS at the time this happened.
