Good for the soldier! This was/is a battle zone and very important intel work is being done! If Rummy had wanted coverage by reporters, a pool would have been arranged!

NBC Nightly News just did a story on this by Jim Micklahoweveryouspellit and it would have been perfect on binLaden TV.Later the words "Global Crossing" came out of Brokaws mouth for the first time,and a full story was done,but it didn't make up for the first report.

Right gramps, that's why Amearicans go to war, to support our ability to be told the truth by the government, not by some pesky reporter who might not get "the facts" right.

Struck said he asked the soldiers' leader what would happen if he ignored their warnings and continued to the missile strike site. That's when the soldier said the reporter would be shot, Struck said.

The soldier didn't threaten him. He was apparently interviewing the soldier and the soldier gave a candid answer. I don't see a problem.

Besides, some guard posts come with the special intructions to 'use deadly force' to prevent unauthorized entry by anyone.

This certainly sounds like an appropriate order at this site.
