In this article Michael Hann at the Guardian "examines the air of secrecy and silence surrounding the US media's treatment of George Bush's 'war on terror.'" In his article he writes "American contractors and soldiers torturing Iraqi prisoners in a prison outside Baghdad? A huge story, by anyone's standards, surely, especially when pictures of the abuse were broadcast on the US TV network CBS. So it was no surprise that newspapers around the world made huge, horrified play of the events at the Abu Ghraib prison. It was more of a surprise, however, that the story did not receive the same level of coverage in the US papers." The article goes on to feature further examples of how the US media have treated other Iraq news issues.
