Heard an amazing report this evening on CBC/Radio Canada--Kirkuk

[Gloria]

Imagine hearing this on US radio or TV. "The Dispatch" presents reports from correspondents. TOnight, one segment was on Kirkuk. Where all the oil fields are.
The reporter talked about the "ghost war." Killings go on and no one is caught or punished. Kirkuk, according to the reporter, is getting WORSE.

Kurds trying to get land back from Arab Iraqis who were given it by Saddam. Turkomen defending their turf...

The reporter said this is what Iraq could turn into in the future....complete civil war. He said there isn't an Iraq alive whose main concern isn't security...

Now, it was amazing to hear because nothing like this gets on our airwaves. Of course, if you read the foreign press, you will have known about this ever since Bush invaded Iraq. But, to hear it on radio, albeit a Canadian broadcast targeting the US....was great....but it would be even better if we got these reports in our media....

1. There have been posts here about Kirkuk and what's going on with the

pipeline. The media here is all Reagan all the time, but that stretch of pipeline all in the north and a powergrid were knocked out just yesterday.

It's awful that we don't have any tv reports of all this. Canadian broadcasting seems to be doing the job our media should be doing.

Did you hear this on your shortwave? Or can you pick it up on sattelite?
