Banned in Baghdad

The Iraq war has been filled with examples of the  Iraqi regime's desperation.  Surrendering soldiers who then shoot  fighters hiding in mosques death-squads forcing soldiers to fight at gunpoint and suicide bombers

But a sure sign that the regime is collapsing has to be when you kick out the oh-so-sympathetic Al Jazeera. This is an excerpt of an article from CNN's web site.

A statement read by an Al-Jazeera news anchor said: "The Iraqi Information Ministry told Al-Jazeera office in Baghdad its decision to ban Diar al-Omari, Al-Jazeera's Baghdad correspondent, from practicing his journalistic duties."

Perhaps Saddam is ashamed of his "glorious heroes"?
