It is a brilliant move on Bush's part to allow embed's to report the war news live. It is not only a reporting outlet, but a legal document for future diplomatic squables. Also, many formerly liberal reporters have found a new found respect for our troops. I suspect we will be seeing a much altered media when everything is said and done.

I want to see our troops wearing highwater bell bottoms....Only then will I believe Kirk et al were prophetic ;)

I agree...and I hope it is a change that is permanent and not forgotten....Americans tend to have a short memory.

We tend to forget this medium of the 'net is conversational. We don't spell check what we 'speak', as it sounds right.
And... if we were actually TALKING to someone, we would not correct their grammer to their face!
(Well..... MOST wouldn't!)
