• There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily.

  John F. Kennedy

• In contrast, the 'Old Europe' channels were showing film from reporters who had embedded themselves at the wrong end of the Baghdad blitz and the Basra bombardment. These films depicted the shattered homes, the killed and grieving civilians and the infrastructure chaos our armed forces are creating daily.
