press freedom being tested by bush.......

As President George W. Bush began his visit to Europe, Reporters Without Borders notes the limitations on press freedom imposed by the US government since the attacks of 11 September last, such as undermining the confidentiality of Internet messages and restrictions on access to the military base at Guantanamo and to military operations in Afghanistan. In this country, medias were bombed and at least five journalists and media assistants were beaten or threatened with death by US soldiers or their Afghan allies.
