Free Press
Letter to the editor…
What is the power of free press? Why real democracy is considered as the best form of political system? The exposure of Abu Ghraib jail tortures by American soldiers who were supposed to protect the rights of prisoners have proved that those who were trained to kill the other fellowmen are without human values not have no consideration for the reputation of their own country. These soldiers have committed heinous crime against humanity.
Why in our land of the pure, the rulers civilians or military never allowed full freedom to press and electronic media is due to the fear and lack of moral courage to face the truth about their incompetence and disrespect for the rule of law. They are only interested to enjoy the high duality of living at the people expense.
