As for the press and whatnot, I agree that they should shut up about having bullets fired near them. As Rumsfeld and several people have said, they are in a warzone.
But, with what Shep is talking about are emails he received saying "screw the journalists" and "I don't care if they die" and stuff like that. That ignorant for people to write that especially when they are bitching about people they are relying on to get the news from the theater of combat.
Shep pointed out that these journalists are in a war-zone and that they had Iraqi officials there threatening their lives. He was dodging that question. But, I do agree with you that the reporters who are bitching that a round got fired into that hotel need to shut up. We are on total agreement with that.
