Street-fighting in Baghdad continues as US armored columns gradually move into nabes on the East bank of the Tigris. It's largely a psychological ploy, say the press officers, to convince Baghdadis that despite what they might hear, the Yanks are indeed coming. So where is the fine line between:
i) taking Radio Baghdad off the air to prevent the Baath from urging resistance;
ii) striking Al Jazeera, which broadcasts footage not approved by CentCom;
iii) accidentally killing other correspondents?
....And how does the liberation of Iraq resemble that of Afghanistan? The 1979 one, not the 2001 one.
