A Mixed Message on Iraq

By Ben Taylor | March 30, 2004

The Bush Administration committed a major blunder Sunday in the ongoing attempt to stabilize Iraq when American soldiers shut down production and padlocked the gates of Al Hawsa, a radical Shi'ite weekly newspaper in Baghdad.

To the Editors: I was shocked and appalled at the things I read in the article "College Grapples With Meaning of 'Bias'" (The Dartmouth, March 5).
