You're so funny. The fact that you can't formulate a thought without a personal attack on someone says a lot about the quality of your ideas.
This is a <B>war</B> in <B>another country</B>. They don't have to have ANY journalists there if they don't want them. There is no danger of independent journalists running around the battlefield. The fact that we hear anything at all is only because of the "embedded" journalists. If you really think the military is controlling what news we hear (beyond keeping sensitive data out of the reports) than you've way out in left field. The relationship is one of animosity <I>because</I> journalists won't do as they are told.
