Ali Hussein,
when the government decided to Iyad Allawi, the abolition of the Ministry of Information, welcomed with working in this area better than that hour wean the Iraqis had come, and that the views of the visionary leader, will disappear from the TV screen, to show a substitute for a picture of the rulers of the people, not half-gods, and the action in the then a fundamental step on the path of democracy and independent media and freedom of expression and respect for the tradition of free media, who played decades of dictatorial rule and how many mouths, but it seems that some people could not and decided to re-patient and the Ministry of Information
To the service and a new guise called falsely the name of the Iraqi Media Network, and to pass this step is rumored that this network is not owned by the government, one of the independent bodies associated with the House of Representatives, and mission of education and providing information on a wide range of diverse issues, developments and events and phenomena of interest to most segments of Iraqi society , and that the network since its inception. Remained captive to the trends of the government, whatever the quality of this government, even now many people point to the network on the mind body spokesperson for the Council of Ministers, I certainly understand the pressures faced by members of the board of trustees, but who do not understand to try some of them jumping on the facts, having raised the dismissal of colleague Abdul Sattar Baidhani on the back of publishing news reports said at the time they caused the abuse to the relationship with Kuwait.
intervention of the Prime Minister issued a decree abolished by order dismissal and returned Baidhani but the generals Media Network Ogazam that raised the issue of the news and decided to dedicate themselves to hunt down the outlaws their will and those who reject the principle of obedience, came making quick first exemption of the network administrator from office and then came the turn of fellow Star Baidhani, and before that was the return of heavy sergeant on TV and versions of the network we saw that a blockade of the margin for media freedom, which Tohemena that extended and expanded after 2003, and although we did not know about the Chairman of the Trustees Hassan Salman, that men of the Iraqi military, but he acts and issue decisions on the way the leaders of armies Every day a conquest, to the extent that the leaders in the Ministry of Defense and Interior more decent of it.
known Mr. Hassan also known as the members of the Council Trustees that the morning newspaper is supposed to be not owned by the government It was funded by public money, has taken the permanent Iraqi constitution this idea and started the Iraqi Media Network of independent bodies associated with the House of Representatives, a constitutional body which represents the public, and remove it from the link the government, compliance with which, however, Gen. Hassan Salman and his staff leadership in network media want us to go back to the time of the Ministry of Information, which put the slogan "everything in service to the leader."
years have passed since the appointment of Mr. Hassan Salman, who said in one of his meetings with television that he had come to reform the media machine and put it on the right track to become ready for the start of competition away from the conflict, the politicians, is that the days to prove that the media is in a state setback of strong rebound in the very early childhood, and that the government is determined to be exercised with us for a game of chess the famous and move the pieces as you wish.
dismissal Baidhani model stark to random resolution in Iraq, because most of the decisions and actions by the government and its followers and Mqrbuha comes up against the expectations of the citizen, or the accuracy of it comes in response to the interests of narrow partisan.
In short we are facing a political rally again, salivate and weighs pockets celebrate the overwhelming success achieved by General Hassan Salman in the expulsion of subversive political process editor of the morning and the uprooting of their roots, and the imposition of the reality of new media by force, the power of the representatives of the Office of the Prime Minister and their belief that their nation and not for hooligans like Baidhani.
