Any reporter who is embedded and refuses to release any raw Intel that would SAVE US lives that he is reporting on should be S H O T! What is he going to do save his own ass and let others possible die for the sake of a news story? Screw him and his morals.... Then any reporter who gets himself captured should NOT be placed on any potential rescue list by any US Military Unit....... Let Mr. AQ have him........
