"It turns out to have been an excellent idea to have embedded reporters - to put a human face on the folks they typically loathe."

Let's remember that EMBEDDING REPORTERS is NOT a new idea. We did it in World War II. If you wanted to cover the war, you enlisted, went thru Basic, and became a member of your unit. This isn't all that much different.

That doesn't mean that it isn't a GREAT idea. In fact, many months ago there were several of us, including myself, who suggested exactly what Dubya and the Pentagon ended up doing.

There's another interesting side effect of the embedded media that won't show up for months or years after the war is over. Once those reporters come back home, and go back to work in their (liberal) offices, how long do you think they'll remain silent if a fellow reporter bashes the military, particularly if that fellow reporter hadn't been an imbedded reporter as well?

This has the potential of completely changing the face of mass media coverage in America.
