... The Memory Hole (www.thememoryhole.org) finally makes it to the national consciousness. This was the only web site (that I knew of, anyway) who published the list of private companies, including U.S. firms, that had sold arms - including potential nuke components - to Iraq during the decade leading up to the Gulf War. German companies led the list which had been published in Europe... and the matter of the disclosure had been discussed in detail in the London Financial Times, among other credible places. But not here in the U.S. Which I found disconcerting, considering the idea that basically the press is free to report what is happening around the world.
Can you have a free press anywhere? - As Robert Bly said, "free this way and free that way"? Free from outside censorship - but also free from internal, institutional censorship maintained through pressure of any kind?
Anyway thememoryhole.org's operator had requested Pentagon photos of caskets containing bodies of U.S. soldiers fallen in Iraq. The request had been granted and suddenly everyone knows about thememoryhole.org. Today I can't get to the site - I presume it is because the traffic to it from places like ABC News and CNN is so heavy the server is unavailable.
