Such a dangerous concept. Having reporters travel with the troops who are doing the fighting and dying and reporting the truth. This cannot be allowed!

Embedded reporters will also BE THERE if WMD's are discovered.

If todays reporters had any testicular fortitude at all, they'd get in their rental car in Kuwait city and head north. The highway from Kuwait city to Basra is hard to miss. I just know they would have a warm reception from the iraqi military. What a boon it would be for us, the reading public to be privy to an interview with a real member of the Saddam Fedayeen.

Personally, I'd encourage some of the intrepid "journalists" to show some initiative and do some real reporting.Break out of the staight-jacket of "embedded" reporting.Go get it, guys.

It seems the anti-American news establishment is afraid of losing their stranglehold over the hearts and minds of journalism. How about that, folks, a whole new generation of newspeople with a bond to our troops forged in combat. This is significant. Many things are changing with this war, and from what I can see the preponderance of it is positive.
