This article in Time Magazine highlights a concern I've had since September 11th - that 9-11 will be used as an excuse to implement a Pax Americana. Rumey certainly seems to be charging down that track - Syria and Iran will be next.
Rumey's choice (via Bush) of former CIA head James Woolsey to be Minister of Information is remarkably misguided and a striking indicator of our intentions. Why do I feel that we're back in the 50's when we put the Shah of Iran in power?

Intense and disturbing NY Times Op-Ed piece by Eason Jordon of CNN. I think Dave Winer nailed it:
Technically there's no doubt that Eason Jordan has admitted a major breach of editorial integrity at CNN. CNN withheld a major conflict of interest, the Iraqi government was torturing and killing their employees and their families. We are told that this did change what they reported. It's understandable that they didn't disclose, but it's probably not okay. It immediately raises the question of what other information is CNN withholding that might color their coverage of news in Iraq and elsewhere.
