It's time the US did the same. The imbed program was meant to allow a truthful reportage of the war. But some of our own have used it to promote the terrorists. It's well known that they interview and interview until they find someone who is against the war and the troops, while ignoring all the good accomplished by our troops. Get the terrorist-loving libs out of there.

Yep...recently I've been talking to some old World War II vets, several of whom had landed on Omaha Beach during the first assault wave before fighting their way across France and into Germany. To a man, they think that the whole embedded reporter program is stupid and that our troops can't do what needs to be done, brutal as it may be, without having to worry about some moron with a camera catching it all on film.

With exceptions like reporters Ernie Pyle and Willam Bradford Huie aside, the old vets say that if our military had tried to fight like we do now with reporters in tow then we could never have won that war, quite simply because our boys had to do some pretty ugly things to bring the Nazis and the Japanese to their knees.

I agree.
