Look what happened to Kevin Sites.

Not sure I follow you.

Wasn't he the reporter who filmed a young marine shoot a terrorist captured in a mosque? The whole media made a fuss but it turned out the kid thought he had a bomb?

Are you saying the military doesn't want American reporters in Iraq because they'll try and make them look bad? Too late!

Just saying that when Reuters, AP, and the MSM send in Western reporters to gather and spew Saddamist/Islamist propaganda, they eventually get busted and are kicked out of Iraq.

That's what happened to Sites after his fabricated and hysterical "unarmed civilian" report. He was de-embedded and unable to do any reporting almost instantly. So he left Iraq.

However, Reuters and AP like the locals, because they side with and report on the "insurgents", which is the side they prefer to cover. I've read that American reporters think being embedded is "covering the other side," i.e., the U.S. military being "the other side".
