Your title is censorship, you should of made it, censorship in Iraq and still I would of pointed it out, I'm not talking about cats and dogs, you just didn't like what I had to say, that's all there is to it.
Censorship

No I liked what you had to say. As usual, it does not make sense.
Al-qaeda, as I understand, posts their propaganda on your own websites hosted in the US. So this is not the issue in the original article. It talks about censorship in Turkey and Iraq. So if you had anything of substance to say, you would have. But as usual, spinning is your way of getting out of the loop.
Case closed. Let's start another issue.

According to Reporters without Borders in their annual Report of 2005, the surrounding neighboring countries of Iraq faired worse. Considering Iraq is under military occupation, it seems pretty good, don't you think?
108 United States of America (in Iraq)
113 Turkey
121 Jordan
155 Syria
158 Iran
159 Saudi Arabia

Well I don't have that data and its not on that site, or I can't find it. Regardless it seems alot more democratic (If Reporters without Borders know what they're talking about) than their neighboring countries.
And since they do not mention KILLING journalists to shut them up, I would have to say all that other information is garbage info.
Unless again, they don't know what they're talking about.

They know what they re talking about and they are complaining about the murders of journalists in Iraq. I will find you the link as soon as I can.

You may want to call Reporters without Borders and tell them that, I doubt it would of ranked 108th with murdering journalists, since putting them in prison (like Cuba) is enough to rank them dead last.
Actually, RSF has gone after the US for killing journalists, most specifically in the attacks on the al Jazeera offices and the attack on the Palestine Hotel, although they have questiones other instances as well. The information is on their site. I suggest you read it.
Ah, you speak of the "intentional" bombing of the journalists during the initial invasion. Pretty sophisticated technology, sniffing out journalists if you ask me.
Everybody with a TV set knew the journalists were in the Palestine Hotel because that's where the broadcasts were coming from. The US military knew it too. They also knew exactly where al Jazeera was because AJ had given them the GPS coordinates.
Edited to add: RSF has spoken out against both of these acts, undermining your contention that they would have rated the US lower if they suspected the US of intentionally targeting journalists.

Right. And since they were all in the hotel and not roaming around in the streets, killing them served what purpose exactly?

My own mind? Don't even go there, you'll lose credibility. Lets talk about the Arab way of thinking on the world stage. In most Arab countries the press is hunted down when it doesn't conform to what the governments dictate to them. They mold their way of thinking from the time they can crawl. Other than that there is nothing wrong with it.
