At the very least, he should have to switch spots with Jane Arraf -- she sounded like she was going to soil herself as she talked with Aaron Brown last night.
I can't recall who the 'embed' was, but I remember during the original push into Iraq a reporter got caught up in the action of the unit he was grafted into. He wrote a white-hot, searing indictment of other media slime and their pretense of objectivity and he drew upon his real-life patrol with an armored unit under fire.
He was terrific! He helped direct fire against the "M-F'rs" that were shooting at his homeys. The tankers spit .50's into the nest of slime that were shooting at our laddies and reduced them to room temperature. Our scribbler rejoiced! The tone and reception of that article launched a series of critical pieces that questioned the role of the reporter in combat positions and the likely allegience forged in the fire of combat.
In short, that 'embed' won his pay and the thanks of the troops. Wish more would do the same.
