Oh, I'm well aware of many of the embeded field reporters in Iraq. Unfortunately most of them file reports that are then filtered down to a sound byte or two made for ratings, not to tell a story, by the afforementioned press pool monkeys. It takes a lot of courage to be a combat cameraman (or woman).
