Well, I don't have a dictionary handy, but I would say that limiting access to info falls more in the realm of censorship than propaganda. But, that's a minor quibble I guess: propaganda certainly works best when used in conjunction with censorship. |
Exactly. Different sides of the same coin. |

They produce entire lists of all that is wrong in U.S. foreign policy as if there were nothing behind U.S. foreign policy but sinister deed after sinister deed. They ignore regional and local actors and special conditions, they ignore other major actors, and pin all the evil in the universe on Washington's shoulders. |
I think that you often make the mistake of assuming the unsaid does not exist.
Re: propaganda. It was said well above: propaganda and censorship are diffeent sides of the same coin. That is all I meant. However, the lack of information can distort as much as the presence of it, si I'm not certain you couldn't call it a form of propaganda. |

Webmaster For Site With Iraqi Corpse Photos Arrested
UPDATED: 7:59 am EDT October 10, 2005
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A man who runs a pornographic Web site that includes pictures of Iraqi war dead has been arrested on sexual obscenity charges.
Chris Wilson, a 27-year-old former policeman from Lakeland, was taken into custody Friday night on one felony and 300 misdemeanor indecency counts unrelated to the grisly pictures from Iraq.
The charges come a week after his site made national news and launched a Pentagon investigation into how war zone photos of charred and dismembered bodies described as victims of U.S. attacks could have surfaced.
