Nice post.

Someday what Yon did will/should be taught in Journalism school.

I know it won’t but it SHOULD

Great reporting.

I haven't heard a word for weeks from the MSM about Iraq. Things must be going well.

Sure there are. Where else do journalists learn that George Bush's henchmen were implicated in the Mai Lai massacre, the assassination of Malcom X, the creation of the AIDS virus, the Exxon Valdez oil spill, or Chernobyl?

My pleasure. You just can’t find stuff like this in the media. Totten and Yon deserve some serious recognition. How about a Presidential Medal of Freedom?
