And since when is Lanny sticking up for the indepence of embedded reporters. Aren't you the one constantly telling us they're controlled by the military. And now you present their account as evidence to support your case?

Don't you see the irony. The embedded reporters are strictly controlled and now the video evidence comes out from that "controlled " source that turns the story against the adminstration.
Actually, it's not surprising. Everyone knew the administration rushed to war without a plan. This is just another example. They were ill prepared for events after the war. Part of it may have been their own success in reaching Baghdad as quickly and easily as they did. They didn't have enough forces to guard the place and keep the peace. Events like this and Abu Ghraib are what can be expected.
