La storia la scrivono i vincitori

Anche in un’era tecnologica, la prima vittima della guerra è la verità, a Jenin o a Falluja.

We don’t know, and won’t know, anything about what happens in the next few days except for what the US military authorities choose to let us know. It’s long since been too dangerous for journalists to move around unless they are embedded with the US forces. There is almost no contact left with civilians still in Falluja, the only information is from those who have left.

Aggiornamento, 13 novembre: “Iraq’s media regulator warned news organizations Thursday to stick to the government line on the U.S.-led offensive in Fallouja or face legal action.” Dal Los Angeles Times, via Empire Notes.
