This is the first war in which journalists can report first-hand on the battles...

Excuse me? complete bullshit.

What this is is the first time tame reporters were taken along in herd controlled by the military, chaperoned by the military and spoon-fed press releases and "information" prepared by the military- which is then regurgitated by these gutless wonders as real "news".

What's 'embedded' are their heads in their arses.
