Ex-Marine Matinee Idol on Al-Jazeera (Former Soldier working for Al-Jazeera!)

Josh Rushing, the former Marine and Control Room star turned Al-Jazeera English reporter, spent nearly his entire adult life around combat gear.

He fingered the bright-blue canvas over the heavy protective plates—a major departure from the military’s more subdued palette—and decided the vest was “the wrong color.” Then he hefted the gear onto his forearm with a practiced motion, groaning in surprise with the strain of it. “Geez, Louise—it’s heavy! It’s much heavier than any military one I’ve ever worn.” He laughed. “Then again, I’m Al-Jazeera going inside Iraq.

I don't know. If he reports in a true and un-biased manner, I don't think he'd have any trouble.

Maybe he's infiltratede to kill 'em from within. Maybe he'll be the tool that'll force Al-Jazeera to recognize the truth, or maybe he's just a Democrat!
