Rumsfeld bans all wedding videos in Iraq
http://www.thedailyfarce.com/world.cfm?story=2004/05/world_camcordersprohibitediniraq_05200400026

After the unfortunate attack on a wedding party in Iraq by the U.S., and the surfacing of actual video footage showing the wedding, Donald Rumsfeld announced this morning that camcorders, digital or not, are prohibited from now on during any kind of celebration, including weddings, birthday parties and anniversaries.

"We ask that the people of Iraq refrain from using camcorders of any kind and/or regular cameras as well." Stated Donald Rumsfeld in a televised press conference in Iraq, "The attack on that party was legitimate. These were people that planned attacks on us. Sure they have weddings too. However, the surfacing of the videotapes showing the wedding party makes it very hard for us to seem like the good guys. So from this point on, all recording devices are prohibited."

1. The only way neocons can win
is to forbid anyone to tell the truth and punish anyone who does.

3. Ban Cameras--Shades of West Bank
Israel slaughtered (my memory)over 600 youths firing WMD of sticks and stones at the troops. Israel insisted no youths were shot intentionally. Then, cameras showed troops aiming and hitting violent terrorist 14 year olds in back of head.

Cameras were removed.

I always wondered when number of kids slaughtered hit 1,000.

These were not armed people. Kids. Sticks and stones. This was an actual Slaughter. No other way to describe it.

4. More suppression of the right to be informed
in the Bushco oppression of people who want the freedom to decide their own destiny. What the hell is a wedding without pictures in any society?
