I'm sure they have procedures. It's the embeds that should also be required to follow set procedures as well.

Other FReeper research is at this post. Add this info to the mix:

By researching other threads on the incident, I have found out that another Marine squad had cleared out the mosque first. The NBC reporter was with that first unit. Later, insurgents reoccupied the mosque. The mosque then had to be cleared out again by Marines with no knowledge of what had happened there 24 hours before. The second squad of Marines had never set foot in that mosque before. Only the NBC reporter had been in that mosque before and only the NBC reporter knew the whole story.

Why the hell didn't the NBC reporter say something?

I wonder if Sites was scared for his own safety and he assumed that without that info the Marines would be more aggressive...

"Why the hell didn't the NBC reporter say something?"

Because blood thirsty reporters "bank" on shock and awe stories. It's what makes their $ick little worlds go round.
