She's right, it's politically powerful stuff. Take a look at the stuff coming out of Iraq, compared to what I hear from guys on the ground or have been on the ground the pictures are bland as hell, every time something major happens, no pics. How did 600 odd iraqis and a pile of US troops die in the last week without seeing one pic of the fighting. Don't tell me the PJs don't want to be there, hell, some of them live for the thrill, there is a concerted campaign going on to make sure just how hellish it is doesn't get out. Pictures are powerful. The right picture can change the course of public opinion, this administration is scared of that happening.
