FREEING THE PRESS

It seems that the military and rescue services have stopped impeding the press and especially photojournalists from doing their job. Glad to hear it. Something is very wrong when we can send soldiers to keep the truth from journalists but not to prevent looting when it was happening. NBC’s Brian Williams deserves some kudos for his complaints yesterday on his blog. However gruesome, we have to see what nature and incompetence – local and federal – wrought. Next up: release all the Abu Ghraib photos. Same principle. Same administration. Same incompetence. Same press.
