I agree with that wholeheartedly. I rant about the domestic censorship
in this country all the time. The article was pointing the finger at
the military for kicking out the journalist then crying censorship
because he didn't have unfettered access to everything, all the time.
What I'd like to see is responsible journalism. From the government's
side, I'd like to see all sorts of things changed. That's a whole
day-long rant for me. I know where you're coming from though.

You are absolutely right on all counts.

The thing that worries many of us is that the concerns you have are  
not at the center of the problem here. We see  an administration that  
is attempting to slant coverage for domestic political purposes so  
that America does not see the cost of this war.

Hell, we even had a Secretary of Defense who so little valued the  
lives of our military, he didn't even bother to sign letters to  
survivors -- he used a machine to do it.

Our country should be reminded of the sacrifice that is being made here.
