Where do you get that idea? All I'm saying is that the American people, for educational purposes, and in the spirit of freedom of information, should not have been deprived the opportunity to view the Iraqi ambassador's comments before today's United Nations Security Council meeting. Instead, Powell preempted this by walking out and answering live questions from CNN, MSNBC and Fox, when the Iraqi ambassador began his presentation--thus, only the C-Span viewers saw the Iraqi presentation. Whether you recognize it or not, that is Class A-1 manipulation of the media, controlling what people get to see and hear in order to achieve a certain political result. It's sorta like the stuff dictators: control and limit the information of the people.
