The ads are interesting. I wonder if there are any parties running on an Anti-American agenda, and running anti-American ads? Is their any censorship?

Yes and no. Every leading party in the Iraqi elections shares the "Get The Americans Out" platform, but they differ on timelines and methods. Some are declaring that they will force an immediate withdrawal of American forces from the entire country, others are promising to kick the Americans out of the cities or relegate them to border patrol, and still others are promising that we'll leave in a "year or two". None of the Iraqi frontrunners supports keeping the US or US corporations in Iraq for an indefinite period.

As for censorship, it's primarily of the "self" variety at the moment. The most ardent anti-Americans, the terrorists, don't run commercials because they'd have to identify themselves to the TV stations. You'd have to be an incredibly stupid terrorist to do that.
