The main point is that they have many articles today on Uzbekistan but if you add oil to the search you get NOTHING. All the stories are distorted and biased to deflect attention from oil cronies!! HORRIBLE!

GIVE'EM HELL!!! Remember that the WPost ignored the Dowing St. Memo until many people complained. Now it's getting come traction.

my email:

what is wrong with you people? no wonder people in this country are so oblivious to what happens in the world until buildings start falling!!!

here's but ONE clip from ONE article that dares to tell the truth:

The former British ambassador to Uzbekistan, Craig Murray, argues that the White House is attempting to characterise those killed in Andijan as terrorists rather than pro-democracy protesters. This allows them to be ignored as US firms to use Uzbekistan as a conduit for valuable oil and gas.

The appalling human rights record of Uzbek president Islam Karimov is well documented.

I did a search today on Uzbekistan and got many articles that all gave the same distorted theme. Then I added oil in the search and got nothing until an obscure article from April 3rd came up! It seems like every major international incident follows this censorship theme. This is totally irresponsible!!!

of Uzbekistan as a source for some of our detainees?

2. don't know

I just went to nytimes.com and searched Uzbekistan and got a bunch of articles. when I added oil, I got nothing. I did this because you can't get a full story without mentionning the role that oil corruption plays in this. I'd have to go back nd try with that key word as well. give it a try....
