" aren't censored by the government. You can say this about the Jerusalem Post ". Well no Nadine,why censor a paper that writes everything the government wants in the First place? The JPost is Arial Sharon's megaphone. Reader beware. Ha'aretz is different.Quite objective I find. Worth reading.

> Good papers, however, try to get an accurate story and aren't censored by the government. Ehm not quite. Good papers provide a context to go with the news they are reporting. Government is irrelevant in general and in this case completely aligned with the paper. > it's more than you can say about any Arab paper. There you go with relativism again...but in this case you should be grateful that the Arab papers and Arab regimes are controlled not to reflect their mass opinion fully. Don't you think that there would have been no US aid to Egypt if Hosni Mubarak was not the best man for serving US in Egypt? > What is so controversial about this story anyway? The controversy is the lack of context and the implications. To begin with, not all Palestinians think they should tie themselves to Saddam and those who do are doing out of desperation for getting any support against Israel. You can take it from there. ST
