The (American) news coverage of the first Gulf War was very disappointing for my 11 year old self. This time around I'd hoped that the internet would allow me to see all the awful faces of death footage that my coal-black heart desired, but so far I've found very little. Are there any websites in English that will give me more than a blurry green-tinted picture of the same fucking Baghdad street we've been staring at for the last week? I'm sure Al Jazera is wonderful, but I don't speak Arabic and their live internet stream seems to be overloaded.
I'm not really looking for an "anti-war" perspective, as the Stalinist perspective doesn't interest me, but there must be something other than the disgrace of CNN, MSNBC and Fox News.
