123. Where was the AP during Bush's ban on photos of even flag draped coffins, though? The GOP supported
the Iraq War under Bush, but opposes the Afghan War under Obama.

Problem is, the whole embedding bit stinks. If war correspondents want to go over there on their bosses' dime or on their own, fine. Let them go and report whatever they want. That's how it was in all the wars until Bush. The embedding is just ridiculous. It ceases to be a free press corps and becomes the propaganda corps.

Also, it's about freakin' time that some of the richer Democrats step up and start buying up news media, as the Republicans have been doing for years.
