Ebbie: I have heard many discussions on C-Span, Pacifica and NPR on this very subject and the prevailing attitude is that, like the Persian Gulf War, we'll see lots of bombed out buidings and burning cars but no bodies or body parts. The military has *complete* control here, at least on the press that will accompany the US. The military will dole out to thew press what they want to go public. The rest will be censored and sanitized.

There were 200,000 Iraqi deaths last time. How many pictures were released to the media for public *consumption*. Very few, if any. And these were pictures of military men. Now we're gonna have thousands of civilians killed! We'll if Bush I wasn't going to let military casualties be shown then you can bet that Bush II isn't going to show the civilian bodies either.

And just who is it that can make him? No one, that's who.

(Danged, Bobert. That's a first! Disagreeing with Ebbie?!?...)
