so, abu graib wasn't an anomaly. all the MSM really does care about is when the crush of war hits the insurgents -- complete with either color photos or video, of course.

How right you are. This whole embedding business has to stop. While there are some benefits to it, I think the downside is just too great. This war is as much about perception as it is about reality, and in a war it is just too easy to criticise just about everything. Having it on video, really just makes it 100 times worse. The reporters can follow the troops as they clear certain areas, but that's it. Don't put them in an actual fighting unit.
