'Censored 2006'

Project Censored, a media watchdog group based at California's Sonoma State University, has issued its annual report on the Top 10 stories the corporate media have ignored.

Roberts concluded that close to 100,000 people had died in the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Most were noncombatant civilians. Many were children.
