The top priority in a war certainly should always be the care and safety of the journalists. So maybe our Armed Services Committee needs to contact our Generals in the Battle Zone. The Generals can then immediately redfine the execution of our war efforts to meet the most important priority---Journalists. Any military plans must be cleared 24 hours in advance by Reuters! This would allow sufficient time for Reuters reporters to file their work agenda for the next day.
The above suggestions would give Reuters reporters the dignity and top priority they deserve. After, all, what's more important than that? Winning a war? Protecting our troops and Iraqi civilians?
Don't be silly!
Reuters if full of crap.
Most people who served in the Green Zone know that the reporters usually stay hunkered down in the Al-Rashid hotel and rarely venture into the field to do actual reporting.
Reporters rely on telephone interviews and Iraqi stringers to do the grunt work.
