Fox reporting at least two separate incidents of western reporters being kidnapped in Iraq. Confirmed by the Pentagon, who won't give details.

Hostages and a way to get media attention, in my opinion. I will bet they looked for TV reporters and those with higihest profile.

This is why I think the Pentagon won't say which organization it is. All we need is NBC going 24/7 about a reporter in grave danger et., etc.

After Walk Rogers performance last night on CNN .... well ... okay I will stop thinking that way.

This will work in our favor.

Kidnappings are based on the notion that Bush cannot stand up to media pressure. They see the media as their ally against the administration.

They are about to learn a lesson about leadership and resolve. Reporters were warned to stay out of hot zones and to NOT go out on their own under any circumstances. Lots of reporters are running around on their own trying to earn that Pulitzer prize, and have disregarded every warning.

Bush and the Marines will pay no attention to media cries for us to stop our offensive, but they will be ignored.

Hopefully, the media will learn a lesson right along with the insurgents.
