I guess the big boys need a farm team.

I wasn't aware there were any East Tennessee papers with the resources to send a reporter to Iraq to follow the Tennessee troops.

I was very hard on our local paper and its staff for their AP antiwar propaganda continuum and their response was very heavy duty favorable coverage for the 278th deployment.

Appears that way. Just another Rather wannabe trying to make a name for himself....at the expense of troop morale, unit cohesion, etc. BTW, I did some looking around for some info on this guy and found very few pieces with his byline. One I read was yukking it up for a new AIDS clinic somewhere in your neck o' the woods.

Could this guy be a pool reporter If so, I don't have a clue how these guys get paid.

I remember that. Apparently your efforts produced a more "fair and balanced" appraoch?
