Of course it's colonialism!
And by "we" i mean, all of us here in the US who depend on and benefit from the oil economy, i guess.
I'm no fan of the Bush/Ashcroft assault on civil liberties. but i think there's a difference between the power exercised over the media by "our" government and that exercised by, say, Saddam or Kim. To deny this, even rhetorically, seems like a mistake.
Maybe an even more pointed comparison would be between the press and other "democratic" institutions in South Korea and those in North Korea.
