One of the smarter of the many smart decisions made by the Pentagon during Operation Iraqi Freedom was the decision widely to "embed" journalists with U.S. troops. I think it may cause a sea change in the attitude of journalists toward soldiers.

Quote of the Day by Cicero

[Green Knight]

One minor correction:

The college professors and students at prestigious universities who protested the war in Iraq imagine themselves to be America's best and brightest. They're not. America's best are those who are wearing the uniform of their country. We should be as proud of them as we are grateful to them.

The aformentioned college professors and students who protested the war obviously aren't our best as the author points out, but they aren't our brightest, either.

If you can do, if you can't teach.

Kelly doesn't need correcting.

If you can do, if you can't teach.
If you can't do or teach; administrate.

Keep reading. The writer then goes on to say who the best are, but mentions nothing about the brightest, implying that though they aren't the best, they are the brightest. They're neither.
