#1 In February 2006, I was detained by the U.S. Army and ejected from Iraq. My crime? Reporting on the weapons and tactics used to counter Improvised Explosive Devices, in apparent violation of the ground rules for embedded media. Unbeknownst to meand to my on-the-record source, apparentlythe military considers details about radio jammers (designed to block the signals that detonate IEDs) secret.

Apparently one of the secret qualifications for being allowed to embed with the US military is to have some common sense. But there is an upside to getting kicked out! You can now hang with Geraldo!

#2 A militaryâs handling of the media says a lot about its nation

Are you breathing? Considering the Paper of Fish Wrap published details of intel gathering that even Saint Roosevelt would have had the owners and editors before a military tribunal, regardless of SCOTUS decrees, and a firing squad, and the endless nasty, vile, and unending diatribes of lies, distortions, and intentional misrepresentations done by your chosen trade and community, I'm surprised from a historical perspective that you're still breathing. Our boys wouldn't even have to raise a hand, cause all they had to do was look the other way when you finally left the cocoon of your bunkered hotel room and Ali took an interest in you for his next AQ Youtube video and Ginzu commercial.
