lots of people in the comments whining about the war, dead kids, etc.

my comment: "all they had to do was give up bin laden after 9/11 and we never would have invaded."

Radios are for heathens, boys, you don't get anything you can't assemble by hand in the Khyber pass.

I was wondering these exact two things. If they have teh ability to power radios and are not being denied the frequencies to use the radios, WE are failing to do our job on that front.

Things are only "Western devil/infidel" material if it helps thier purpose. Thus radios are fine to use and listen to, along with cigarrettes and alcohol and playboys, until they defeat the Western scum... then those things will magically become off limits again.

So how does a journalist "embed" with the enemy?

Journalist: Hey guys, I know you hate me and everything I stand for, but I'm going to live with y'all and take some pictures, is that kewl?
