Project Censored 2005

[anotheranon]

Time again for the top 20 censored news stories. Given my place of work, this one is particularly disturbing, but not entirely surprising - according to Ken Alibek the former Soviet Union worked on such things as airborne smallpox extensively, so this probably isn't "new" research. Not that it makes me feel any better....

The one on cenosring Iraq reminded me of something that was on the CBC site for a while; 'twas called "The Stories We Weren't Allowed to Report" (or something along those lines) ... American war correspondents were posting things there that they weren't allowed to publish in their own newspapers. :-(
