Censoring

In An Ordinary Person's Guide to Empire, Roy talks about how in the Iraq war the truth isn't really being told. That the Media outlets have been holding things from us. I believe this is from the military censorship. The American people believe this The War Terror is about terror, which it isn't. It is about not only oil but also about self-destructive, impulse toward supremacy, stranglehold and global hegemony. However Roy hits it right on point when he saids we stay late hours of all nights to watch the media outlets such as CNN. I had no idea that the Iraq war was also consider a racist war in other countries. We had an average president in office that need to feel power, in return we have this messy war.

I think that this all has to do with censoring what we hear on TV, radios and see in the magazines. I know this really has not much to do with this section of the book, I realize how much is censored even just with factual information. I think its sad and Americanized how much the government has control a war, even though we have family and friends who are fighting.
