The Rhetoric Channel
Salam Pax's friend G. in Baghdad is testing out the "rhetoric channel" against the "reality channel" in the streets and homes of Baghdad. Something we, in the West, don't know so much about is the mind-set that can occur under a totalitarian regime:
...every one of us here in Iraq has this small plug in police officer back in his mined which will monitor all our movements an talking even now almost 3 month after the American tanks roared into Baghdad.
...how to liberate our selves from the secret police mechanisms nesting in our brains, this liberation will not be achieve by American tanks, nor by a self-denial flagellation process
