I have to take my hat off to the strategy and execution so far. By "imbedding" the press, the entire world is seeing what America stands for. The new reality, controlling the press by opening it. Letting the Press spread the word. Yeah. Sort of like controlling "open architectures" in technology. This strategy might even work. To be fair to both sides, the Pentagon has to control the press to some extent, otherwise they'd be blabbing operational details all over the place and risking lives. It's not as if most journalists have any military experience to give them any guidelines. So training and embedding the journalists makes the most sense - it's saying, we trust your intentions and we know you have a story to get out, but you're going to have to learn how not to interfere with our job if you want to do yours. BTW, Carl is now officially 1 for 3 (right on Turkey, wrong on deployment and war).
