Wasn't Franks the General that just got reprimanded for allowing his wife in on Military briefings? Seems the Loose lips may be the guy wearing the Uniform.

Bingo!

Seriously, CentCom has been spewing out reams of strategic and tactical disinformation for weeks. Perhaps now the appearance of a security "crackdown" will add new legitimacy to the fresh lies which are about to be spread through the press. Our guys know what they are doing; fortunately, the hostile though unwitting press does not. They don't know it, but the joke is on them...

One cannot trust the media. Either they are fools to the point of gross negligence or treasonous. Either way soldiers lives could be lost.

General Sherman was and is to be admired in the way he handled the press.

I was shocked the news media was telling why we aren't playing Shock and Awe. They were telling that we are trying to convince top military brass in Iraq to surrender. Why would we broadcast this strategy? Hussein will be working to foil this approach, now.
