I am not totally sold on this embedded journalists thing. How many journalists are embedded anyway? Do we really need all of them? Do we really need all those photographers over there? I read last night one American journalist died of a blood clot, and one was killed in a humvee accident. I read today that 2 more journalists were killed by an Iraqi missile strike. There is a need for news about the war but I just do not see the point in getting killed over it. The news is not that important. In a lot of cases it seams as tho the embedded media has become propaganda machines for the Pentigon anyway. So they are not really doing us a big favor.
