press accompanies troops on occasion, not the norm do you really think reporters are scattered as they wish throughout the countryside in search of scoops? after Perl was abducted and killed? after the Red Cross incidents? after numerous volunteers and travelers were killed in the last several years along the countryside? that seems really farfetched, if not naive do you think troop commanders invite reporters into camps which are seeing nightly sniper attacks and other ambushes? I dont think so in VietNam, press were routinely invited into the safest areas some went into the field too deep though it happened, and some got killed Dan Rather was out there, once upon a time after VietNam, reporters in the field ended from then on, only on invitation and under escort Afghany has a fascinating history my knowledge is slim the political and war topics are too much for me sure, I engage a bit myself I am taking some time off this thread too much political stuff, back&forth arguing about Bush I dont care much at all about politics way way way too many articles posted on Bush and politics I dont care much at all about politics way too many articles posted about Iraq and conspiracies I dont care much at all about politics I am out of here for a while if discussion returns to financial markets, stocks, bonds, currency, economy, gold, Fed action, international trade, bank sector, debt collapse, fraud cases as they pertain to stocks, then I will be back toodaloo / jim
