Iraq Control Authority : media

Mohamed Abdul Jabbar carp
Is it right to think, after thirty-five years of totalitarian dictatorship of the individual, and after the abolition of the Ministry of Information, once the formation of the control of the media, linked to the Ministry of Culture, in Iraq? Some believe it is possible that the answer is yes.
Start listing the reasons. Of these reasons, what I heard from some advocates of the idea that the level of the song Iraqi declined significantly due to the lack of control, Proof of this song prisoners, as he said!
It was to justify the establishment of the Directorate leave satellite channel. Do we not have the information and communications, which is this task? Why Monitoring Directorate media? Is this not gone beyond the powers of the independent states of existence Constitution?
But the most important reason which in this area is the security, so the brothers who signed the "Treaty of the holy month of Ramadan, to stop the bloodshed in Iraq." they decided not to wait for the formation of the proposed control information submitted to the Council of Ministers, and agreed to form a committee to control the media in terms of the treaty. , Said of those who contributed to making the treaty and I quote : "Under these emergency circumstances, the press can not talk to America."
And I imagine that my brothers who stand behind such ideas and proposals recall the provisions of the constitution by the Iraqi Permanent voted in favor of the majority of Iraqis. It provides for the freedom of opinion, expression and information is what makes censorship in any form pursuant violation of the constitution.
I know that security fears to be the biggest problem for the Iraqi people. also know that some satellite programs to help raise sectarian sedition. but this does not justify the violation of the Constitution and swap Security freedom.
We need security, we need the same freedom. If the political elite is unable to provide security, it is not justified to deprive us of freedom, on the pretext of insecurity.
Expect the brother prime minister to declare a clear stance on this critical issue.
