"While the bombs were falling on Afghanistan, members of the press risked their lives to record the scenes in that country."

Well let's thank these heroes. What crap. They're falling all over themselves desparate to find some American atrocity to report. After the performance of "members of the press" during the Clinton years, it's painfully obvious to anyone that the Bush Whitehouse and Rumsfeld are an infinitely more credible and reliable source of accurate information than the NY Times, CNN or CBS.

"...members of the press risked their lives to record the scenes in that country."

Members of our military risked their lives to destroy the terrorist organization and, in so doing, brought renewed freedoms to many Afghanistanians.

I'd go with the military as the more heroic, for sure.
