Media Watch

I am waiting to see how long it takes before the news media begin to discount the significance of the death of al-Zarqawi.

The idea that he can be easily replaced by another terrorist is absurd and ignores how terrorist operations function. It also underestimates the symbolic value his death will have in a part of the world in which image is extremely important.

But don't count our journalists out! I'm sure they'll come up with something.
