start having more briefings from Rumsfeld, he cable networks will cover it, these were essential during the war to getting at least some information out without the bias of the media filtering it.

This POLITICIZING of the news like this has nothing to do with a FREE PRESS at all, and EVERYTHING to do with POLITICS.

Agreed. Ialways email positive articles to non-freeper friends. Admittedly a small step, but a step forward nonetheless.

[Rumsfeld] said he is not wearing rose-colored glasses in looking at the situation. He stressed that the road ahead will be hard and have many bumps, but that it is worth traveling.

Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, commander of Combined Joint Task Force 7, also took exception to media coverage of the situation in Iraq. "It is very disturbing to me to sit here every day and watch the news back home that focuses on the bad things that are occurring in Iraq," he said.

The general says it makes it seem as if the sacrifices of coalition troops is not being appreciated. He said there is progress in every area of the country. "We ought to make sure that America knows that their sons' and daughters' sacrifices are for a good cause," he said. "We have eliminated a dictator here. We are making a difference every single day."

Take THAT, Troll Press !! ...
