The deal is, though, that everyone will get to know everything about the
trial AFTER it is over. It's a black out, not a coverup in the same way
that sporting events are blacked out but you can see everything afterwards.
It's more than a concern with cultural osmosis (sp?). I'd like to know
why the U.S. media is soooo interested in this case. Is it just because
they've been told they "can't go here"? Do they feel they have a
holy quest to fulfil, ie. bring American style media coverage to the world
thereby liberating it from the oppression of governments and whatever all
else? Is the defendent a suspect in killings in the U.S.?
