I've been reading mailing lists, briefing notes, articles etc etc for at least the last 3 months from journalists dealing with the pentagon pool, pentagon information policy, academics dealing with the military information system and so on. I'm not going to do your research for you Adam. But it's not some kind of secret - the Pentagon is quite open about it - journalists will be allowed access to the US forces and areas of operation, but on our terms. It's their standard policy and they are quite open about how they are going to manage the information coming out of Gulf War II. You might want to track down info on the recent "war school" set-ups run for journalists by the Pentagon, where they ran exercises ostensibly to help journalists prepare for war, but in practice, to see how their information management system worked. Again - there's no conspiracy - they are quite open about it. And certainly as far as the like of the major networks are concerned, it seems they are happy to fall in line. tim - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
