So far, Franks has not spoken one word to the media, testing the patience of some 600 reporters desperate for information at the As Sayliyah Camp command headquarter on the bleak outskirts of Qatar's capital, Doha.

Aww, poor babies. I guess they haven't noticed that General Franks has had more important things to do in the last 60 hours.

"This is the worst public affairs operation I've ever seen."

That'd be because it's actually a war, moron.

What in hell could they possibly want to know that they don't already? All the reporters have to do is watch Fox News.

[RightOnline]

Don't you know? It's all about them.

Gen. Franks doesn't need to say a darn thing because the embedded reporters are telling it all much better. Same for the videos of cruise missles swooshing into Bahgdad.

So, there are multiple journalists who are allowed to actually go into action with the military, and the morons are still complaining. As far as I'm concerned, the military can release a weekly written press release.

Analysts say the lack of information is probably deliberate policy to leave Iraqi President Saddam Hussein and his military guessing about the U.S.-led forces' plans.

Ya think?

[mombonn]

The most prevalent journalist theory of why the U.S. is being so tight-lipped is that the press operation is an extension of White House policy to control information.

An alternative theory could be that by remaining so tight-lipped, the enemy has less of a chance of attacking THEM or our troops. Just a thought, you selfish bunch of whining narcissists.

"You've got 600 hacks locked in a warehouse and you won't tell them anything.

LOL. Hey, the reporters wanted to know the 'war plan', perhaps this is it, keep the reporters locked up.

Seriously, the reporters with the forces have been doing a good job of actually 'reporting'. The six hundred mentioned here are probably just the left's mouthpieces.

Britain at least has some patriotic news sources in their mainstream media, such as the Telegraph and the Times. In America, you have to drop down to the new media, such as Internet news sources and the conservative talk shows, to find pro-American reporters and commentators. This might explain the greater openness of the British military to the news media.

[Octar]

Didn't they demonstrate to General Franks that they couldn't be trusted with information? One strike and yer out.

"This is the worst public affairs operation I've ever seen."

Oh, shut up you self-centered idiot. The man is leading a WAR!
