They have always done this and always will.
Look at how the MSM censors all of our mainstream news. this reporter was lucky he was not censored with extreme prejudice like so many others in Iraq. I remember a few that were shot to shit in a Hotel that was designated for their safety. Must have been a mysterious sniper on the roof they were shooting at. Yea, suuuuuure.

Ok here is another opinion for you to consider
The ACLU today released documents regarding Navy investigations of civilians killed by coalition troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. The report notes that the administration has gone to “unprecedented lengths to control and suppress information about the human cost” of the wars. Some of the key findings: – Banning photographers on U.S. military bases from covering the arrival of caskets containing the remains of U.S. soldiers killed overseas – Paying Iraqi journalists to write positive accounts of the U.S. war effort – Inviting U.S. journalists to “embed” with military units but requiring them to submit their stories for pre-publication review – Erasing journalists’ footage of civilian deaths in Afghanistan – Refusing to disclose statistics on civilian casualties. The New York Times revealed in April that the Pentagon also had used a domestic propaganda program to paint a rosy portrait of the war effort. See the documents here. Digg It!

If they weren't embedded, they got their brains blown out. Count the dead journalists in this "war".

So? Embedded journalists are called "embedded" because they are integrated into military units. When you are integrated into a military unit, you follow the rules. If you want to do reporting un-embedded, you're free to do so, but don't expect any protection or access. People don't have the right to know. They only have the right to try to find out.

Those pictures are visions of VN. Damn right the military and Bush is scared to death. They don't want people seeing what is really going on. The lower ranking soldiers know exactly what is up. Bring on the pictures journalist (do your jobs) and this war will finally end.

Frank M, if you are in the US then you are in the wrong country because your attitude is very unAmerican.
