How can the American Press cover the Iraqi elections from green zone?
I just switched through briefly (first time in a looooong time) CNN, MSNBC, et al and saw nothing more than studio talking head pablum re: the Iraq elections. How can these guys cover it if they are too frightened to leave the Green Zone?

1. Just say it is all working and leave it at that.
Bush and Co seem to like things that way. It does work for the people who vote for him. Bush speaks and they all believe.

2. They have KKKarl's report in front of them...................
the footwork has already been done for them, they can just sit back and read the official White House statement. Just like always.

3. Why don't they just do what Rob Cordry does...
...and sit themselves in front of a blue screen with Firdos Square superimposed on it.

It works for the Daily Show...:shrug:;)
