Here's a searing indictment of the Arab media's performance during the war. It duped the masses into thinking the coalition was hell-bent on destroying Iraq, conveniently forgetting Saddam's contributions to the destruction of a once great country. I particularly like this quote in response to a question asking whether the Arab media outlets can ever be objective:
"In my view, it is not possible because the Arab media is controlled by the prevailing general atmosphere and by people who have been fed on the slogans of incitement and inflammatory propaganda for more than half a century. They are captives of those who fed them and brought them up, those who controlled their mentality in which long-standing imaginary ideas, fables and superstitions were planted."
