Iraq a preview of U.S. future?(Insider Report)
In occupied Iraq, reported the January 26 Washington Times, "U.S. led coalition authorities have barred the media from promoting any kind of violence, but there is a hot market in the bazaars of central Iraq for cassettes by singers calling for insurrection."
One popular song, recorded in an obscure dialect familiar only to Iraqis in the so-called Sunni Triangle, extols the guerrillas of Fallujah as "men of hard tasks.... They paralyzed America with rocket-propelled grenades. May God protect them from [U.S.] airplanes." Iraqi airwaves also resound with Sabah al-Jenabi's call to arms: "America has come and occupied Iraq. The army and people have weapons and ammunition. Let's go fight and call out the name of God."
Coalition Authority spokesman Dan Senor has stated that "any sort of public expression used in an institutionalized sense that would incite violence against the coalition or Iraqis" is banned by law. While this edict doesn't specifically apply to music, Senor continued, the military censorship decree "was modeled after similar policies and similar standards and guidelines in the United States, in the United Kingdom, Australia, and elsewhere."
