US to Iraq. Freedom of press not allowed
The United States wants al-Jazeera news to leave Fallujah as a condition for reaching a settlement.
Why?
As Brig Gen Mark Kimmitt, the deputy director of U.S. military operations in Iraq, was speaking by phone on al-Jazeera and insisting that American forces declared a unilateral ceasefire in Fallujah, the channel was airing live images of continued air raids by F16 fighter jets on residential neighborhoods of the town.
That’s why.
