Riveting Report from the Front Lines
I have to repost this story from my colleague Jonathan Landay. It shows the dedication of reporters who are out there taking real risks with troops to try to get the ground truth.

Mr. Mcintire, my comment will not be welcome by the DOD but the truth is that there is a way that our soldiers can have a better chance to defeat the enemy without spending billions of dollars. I refuse to believe that other interest are more important than the life of our soldiers. I challenge the DOD to proof me wrong and if they do I will explain to you the plan for your consideration. I know that we have the best combat weapons, best military intelligence and the best troops commanders but they are missing one key element . |
