Earlier this week I bapped Joe the Plumber for comments he made about
reporters embedding with front line infantry. I enjoy Joe's reports
but had a strong disagreement with him on a policy point regarding the
media in warfare.
In subsequent posts, with some background info from PJTV's Roger L.
Simon I understood the full crazy context of what Joe said out on the
street and in a sit-down, on-set, on-camera report.
You can see the full crazy context here.

Once Joe took the time to flesh out his thoughts and reflect a bit,
he's not for a blanket ban on embedded reporters, just frustrated with
usual suspects and their shenanigans.
In my first post about Joe I stated that because I was in Iraq during
his rise to fame I did not understand his appeal. I'm beginning to
understand it now.
And to Rick Sanchez....my quoting Les Grossman in a previous post applies to you.
