Remember October's Duranty Report? If you don't, here's the important bit:

On October 4th, the New York Times ran a report by Nicholas Kristof in which he relayed how two young Iraqi women in Bagdad told him they hate America and will do whatever they can to repel American invaders. He sagely concluded that the President was deluded if he thought Iraqis would welcome American soldiers.

Six paragraphs later, buried in the middle of the story, he noted that foreign correspondents such as himself were accompanied at all times by a representative of the Iraqi government.

He then noted a bit further down that anyone caught speaking in a manner considered traitorous was legally subject to having his tongue cut out.

I just wanted to make sure you remembered it.

In case you'd, you know, forgotten or something.

Because I hadn't.
