I can't agree with restricting media coverage, free media is vital to any democratic nation. while they can be asked to be responsible about it, it is legitimate news.
Agreed. The press can really fug up at times, but either they're free or their not.

With one BIG exception. During ongoing combat operations, the military runs the show. In an age of instant satelite communications and live TV, the media has become a part of the battle field environment and it's not just the military's right, it's their duty to our troops to control that environment. A war zone is under martial law, and the Constition does not apply.


I don't suffer from insanity... I thoroughly enjoy it
