Book Description
Michael Massing describes the American press coverage of the war in Iraq as "the unseen war," an ironic reference given the number of reporters in Iraq and in Doha, Qatar, the location of the Coalition Media Center with its $250,000 stage set. He argues that a combination of self-censorship, lack of real information given by the military at briefings, boosterism, and a small number of reporters familiar with Iraq and fluent in Arabic deprived the American public of reliable information while the war was going on. Massing also is highly critical of American press coverage of the Bush administration's case for war prior to the invasion of Iraq: "US journalists were far too reliant on sources sympathetic to the administration. Those with dissenting views—and there were more than a few—were shut out. Reflecting this, the coverage was highly deferential to the White House. This was especially apparent on the issue of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction .... Despite abundant evidence of the administration's brazen misuse of intelligence in this matter, the press repeatedly let officials get away with it." Once Iraq was occupied and no WMDs were found, the press was quick to report on the flaws of pre-war intelligence. But as Massing's detailed analysis demonstrates, pre-war journalism was also deeply flawed, as too many reporters failed to independently evaluate administration claims about Saddam's weapons programs or the inspection process. The press's postwar "feistiness" stands in sharp contrast to its "submissiveness" and "meekness" before the war—when it might have made a difference.

Not illustrated. 1902 edition. Excerpt: ...as would be done in case of actual fire." DIAGRAM ILLOSTBiTIHO THE AREA COVERED BY THE HIGH-PRESSURE SYSTEM. THE BLACK LINES DESIGNATE! THE PIPES WHICH GRIDIRON THE SO-CALLED "FIRE BELT." FOR FURTHER EXPLANATION, SEE TEXT. In this test twelve lines of 300 feet each of 2j-inch hose with l-inch nozzles were used. With pressure from first boat, one line of hose only in operation, the stream was effective for 175 feet, which distance was mainiained when the second and third lines were opened. With all the boats in operation, the maximum distance made by three lines of hose at one time was 262 feet actual striking distance, although it is calculated shat the spray carried at least twenty feet fuither. With all twelve lines in service and all boats pumping at their highest pressures, the distance was slightly under 200 feet. Third test.--" To be an exhibition under the same conditions as test No. I; '. e., static pressure, with leads of 300 feet of 3J$-inch hose wiih 2-inch nozzles." The pressure resulted in a stream of. 50 feet from one line of hose. With the opening of a second line the distance dropped to 10 feet. Fourth test.--" To be a repetition of the conditions existing in test No. 2, but with three leads of 3 %-inch hose with 2-inch nozzles." With pressure from one boat the three streams reached a distance of 125 feet; with two boats, 160 feet, and with three boats, 225 feet. Fifth test.--" To determine the effect on the four foregoing tests of opening a hydrant at Sixth and Race streets." The result of this test was more satisfactory than had been anticipated. Pressure registered about the same at both points, showing a drop of 40 degrees at Broad and Walnut streets, or, in other words, ...
