I understand and agree with what you are saying. Sometimes it is hard to just walk by. The media should have no right to free access in War. Journalists do not have the sense to understand the potential use of their reports by the enemy. This Kevin Sites twit knew his report would be used to damn our troops by the MSM and the Lib Loonies. But did he understand how it would be used to recruit more Jihadists. Freedom of the press should have some consequences especially where national security is involved.
Screw the MSM and screw Kevin Sites.
The Pentagon disagrees with you. Given the success of their endeavors to date, I have to side with them. Cutting off all access is a great strategy--if you intend to alienate the American public from the military.

When you allow your fears of the enemy to drive your decisionmaking on any topic, you're halfway to losing the war.

My estimate: the ones who would be recruited by this video would have been recruited by some other means. Terminal stupidity cannot be cured or prevented. But many would-be jihadis who see this are likely to back off, because it is such a ruthless and pitiless image.

Uh-huh. January 21st, 2009: President Hillary Clinton announces that Free Republic is a threat to national security.
