What the reporter did might in fact save American lives but instead of being praised for calling attention to an important story he's being painted as some sort of Svengali in a pink cape. The soldier that actually asked the question is being painted as a complete moron.

Exactly. That's what I have a problem with.
I'll say this. The elite media in this country, left or right, has ALWAYS believed that we are stupid. So, they report to us in that manner. It's always been that way and it will probably never change.
As I said, to insinuate (as anyone who questions the legitimacy of the question because it was planted by a reporter does) that the soldier in question and all of his applauding comrades did not believe in the question itself is assinine. These guys respect Donald Rumsfeld whether they agree with him or not. He is their superior. They're not going to ask some question they don't think is an issue because some embedded reporter asked them to.
That's what all this uproar regarding the reporter leads to. It couldn't be more wrong.
