At least Rumsfeld's Military Forces allowed International Journalists and Human Rights Groups to view and assess the damage. Not while the fighting was going on, and not for some days after.

"At least Rumsfeld's Military Forces allowed International Journalists and Human Rights Groups to view and assess the damage. " Sometimes many days after the event. The event themselves sometimes were not reported on until several days later, so stop trying to make Israel into something which they are not. Today they did let journalist in. To me it is similar to Afganistan. I never saw any reports showing the damage to Mazar-e-Sharif on television. Very little in the press. No comment on civilian casualties in any western press, and I do admit I've discounted the AIP reports. Other than AIP where are the Mazar-e-Sharif reports, what about Kandihar, or the mountains between Bagrum and Kabul and the villages there. Did we really see complete coverage on the human suffering there. Did we see how much damage the 'civilian infrastructure' took as a result of those bombs?
