The embedded reporters who are real people and not left wing fanatics will have made friends with military people who will rise in command structure.

The embedded reporters now have an idea of what our troops face in battle. Now they know of their professionalism and what they do not to hurt innocent civilians.

Embedding the reporters is good for them and the military. They now know that if they reveal a military position like where they are, that can cost lives of our people.

The man/woman who came up with the concept of embedding was a genius.

I believe it was Torie Clark - assistant press secretary at the Pentagon - that came up with the idea of embedding the journalists.

The embedded reporters who are real people and not left wing fanatics ...

Agree but not all embedded reporters are young, open-minded Fox News reporters.

Ted Koppel is embedded and was defending showing the dead Americans.

I almost vomited when I heard this. Ted is an idiot. There is a difference in reporter or photographer simply reporting or photographing reality. It is another thing when the official of a government parades POWs or worse shows off dead enemies as if they are a trophy buck.

I agree. These reporters will come away with more respect.
