Can you explain how the free press "have been" hindered by the military
_specifically in France_ ? In your opinion, when was the press actually
free and when did the military begin to interfere ?

Every French person. There are some people outside Paris, you know ?

No, between 2001 and 2005. They are renewed every five years.

Yes. But are those photographs with wristwatch precision readily
available ?
Last thing, Mxsmanic : please STOP to consider that I stand for
everything French. I do not. I'm not vexed by your comments on the
so-called mediocrity of anything French. Please get it!
