MCI Suspended Long Distance Service To Iraq

Just came across a letter in the 'Stars & Stripes' complaining about this. Is it possible ShrubCo has initiated this to keep a lid on the bad PR for the upcoming elections?

1. bad PR for Bush would be

finding out Bush had anything to do with it. But I doubt it.

2. Just another morale building exercise

cut off the phone calls home. See, if you allow troops to call home, they might realize what they are missing back here. So, really, this is just for their own good.

3. Is there ANY press coming out of Iraq these days

except through 'official channels'? Has it turned into a seething hellhole and no one here knows?
