"Who cares.. ..They've been warned."

Works for me.

If Saddam wants propaganda, let him provide his own!

War ain't show business

[shrinkermd]

Great idea. The war is not being fought for cable news ratings.

She knows what the rules are and she can go play the game now.

Nice headline, I thought maybe the Pentagon found another target for the next MOAB test..

[UncleSamUSA]

I hope this lying little BBC bitch is the first one to get caught in the crossfire.

[Dog Gone]

Some leftist journalists, talking among themselves, quoting unnamed sources making these statements. Hmmmm.

[DoughtyOne]

I think this is outrageous!  No bounty????

[The Old Hoosier]

Hang on here--do these uplinks look the same to our planes as, say, anti-aircraft radar?

[Conspiracy Guy]

According to Ms. Adie, who twelve years ago covered the last Gulf War, the Pentagon attitude is: "entirely hostile to the the free spread of information."

War and controlling information, is this new? (Sarcasm)

[rabidralph]

"I am enormously pessimistic of the chance of decent on-the-spot reporting, as the war occurs,"

I say strap her to a MOAB, that should be pretty on the spot for her.

[pfflier]

Ususal liberal drivel. An ARM will home in on it's assigned frequency emitter regardless of who is behind it.

My guess is that the DoD really stated it wouldn't make any particular frequency immune to attack.

Of course the liberal media whore has to read that as a personal attack on her not her antenna.

[TruthShallSetYouFree]

the Pentagon attitude is: "entirely hostile to the the free spread of information."

Well, Duhhh!!! What part of "War" don't you understand. This ain't a freaking cricket match, lassie.

[Ditto]

I have a feeling that their uplink equipment will be nothing but fried microchips after we let go with our EMP technology. These guys will not have a clue as to why they can't get a connection. Then they will notice that their watches stopped, their cell phones and lap tops are dead and their Toyota won't start.

The Pentagon has threatened to fire on the satellite uplink positions

I can only hope this includes the CNN Atlanta site.

[skeeter]

"Well, they know this - they've been warned" is not quite the same as "who cares, they've been warned" is it.

[CatoRenasci]

Sounds reasonable to me: report from the Iraqi side if you want, but understand there'll be no special consideration if you're in the way. Also understand that we intend to deny the enemy use of all electronic spectra, that includes satellite communications. We detect emissions, and we'll close 'em down. If you want us to treat you as reporters, play by our rules on our side.

Simple, direct, correct.

I like it.

[Jack Stephens]

The above is a skein of completely unsupported claims. A single quote attributed to an unnamed "senior Pentagon officer" is no basis on which to make claims about threats from "the Pentagon."

Let us take this as an example of the quality of reporting that Ms. Adie would offer us from Iraq: thanks, but no thanks.

[Kay Soze]

I heard Martin Sheen wants to become an independant reporter in Iraq!

[doug from upland]

Stay the hell out of our way. You can report when we liberate the country. Maybe, you will even report on all the poison gas and atrocities.
