Saddam's Trial will be put on television. Something I'm sure that will steal the ratings from the boom of reality television in Iraq. Television is an interesting tool in this war: television news sources aided The Administration's neo-con ideological invasion; television and other media journalists have been restricted from reporting unless they were embedded. And yet, the continued fact of television's presence has also exposed the corrosion of The Administration- over time, the war has soured on TV; none of us would have been so stricken with sadness and anger during Katrina if not for TV. And now, the great trial of Saddam Hussein, from the comfort of your own couch. Pop the Popcorn, Iraq- you've just been introduced to CourtTV. Any word on an Iraqi C-Span...?
