Shocking Tally of Iraq Civilian Causalities

[Chaerophon]

As soon someone gets their 'been there, done that patch' for their uniform then I'll be much more inclined to listen to arguments of tactics, rather than expect some press pool monkey in their air conditioned office sipping a latte to have all the answers.

I think that you may be a bit deluded as to the level of threat that the average field reporter faces in Iraq... they're certainly not sipping lattes. I have no opinon on the specific topic - why would I, I know nothing about it - but I think that you may be doing a disservice to many people who, according to your logic, DO deserve to have an opinion.
