Why is it that left-wing journalists in Iraq persist with the pretence of asking questions of 'ordinary Iraqis'? They are asking people for opinions in a country where it is illegal to have one that might slightly contradict that of their government, and where you and your family can be murdered by Baathist thugs if you express those opinions on air.
What's worse is that they know the Iraqi people are constrained in what they are allowed to say, yet they persist. It can only mean that these journalists are using the victims of despotism to unwillingly propagandise for the regime that oppresses them.
