United Press International: Iraq to bar key Arabic news channels: "The Iraqi Governing Council announced Tuesday it would suspend two prominent Arabic-language satellite news stations for what it said was supporting recent attacks on council members and U.S. occupation forces."

So Chalabi, as head of the Iraqi Governing Council (IGC) and the Iraqi National Congress (INC) has decided to shut down al Jazeera. So much for the free press, eh? But the interesting thing in this story is the confusion(?) of those TLA's, IGC and INC. After that lead paragraph, we find the following attributions:

• "... the announcement, which was made by a spokesman for Ahmed Chalabi, who heads the Iraqi National Congress and currently serves as the council's president."
• "The INC spokesman said..."
• "INC officials said the council had voted..."
• "The INC official indicated..."
• "... the INC official said.

There are no mentions of "IGC officials", "IGC spokesman", or any other reference to the Governing Council at all in the story.
