.According to a dispatch from Doha by a Chinese reporter, journalists who conduct interviews with the US Central Command in Qatar must abide by the "Three Don'ts" regulation.

.On the question of war prisoners, the West accused Iraqi TV Station of violating the provisions of the " Geneva Convention" concerning the treatment of war prisoners as the said station broadcast pictures showing war prisoners of US troops. But it forgot that it was the Western TV station that was the first to repeatedly broadcast clear pictures showing the coalition troops making a body search of Iraqi prisoners of war.
.On the very day of the outbreak of the war, Western media said Saddam and his two sons had been killed in the first round of bombings, but very soon they corrected the report by saying that the one who was killed was vice president Ramadan. But these reports proved to be false news when both Saddam and Ramadan appeared on TV. On March 21, AP said that the 8,000 soldiers of Iraqi Division 51 had "surrendered" to the coalition forces, but the Iraqi Ministry of Information rebutted the next day that the said Division was still fighting fiercely with the US troops and the division commander specially showed up on Al-Jazeera TV.
