"It was a classic military attack," he says here at Camp Shelby, the US Northern Command forward headquarters in the Katrina effort. "He destroyed communications and moved barges across roads. He created shock and paralysis."

LOL.
When I was typing I think I was sTuck on stupid. I think my hands were still shaking after watching Lt. Gen. Honore giving the reporter a tongue lashing.
LOL
The high ranking military commanders who speak to the press the way they deserve, do not care how the press "feels" about the information provided.
They already know the press is "compromised", and must be forced to perform their mission.
