This War is Surreal

I am watching TV right now, and CBS news has this guy who is tagging along with a company of soldiers who are engaging a group of Iraqis. This reporter is right up on the line, holding a microphone and asking these guys questions, which they are answering politely.
Ummm....that just seems strange to me.
THen theres this reporter who is in a liberated town, walking along and talking into a microphone.
I guess I am as much intrigued as I am confused by it. I have this feeling that the media doesn't belong there yet.'
But, I guess we better get as much of it on tape as we can...

Have you ever seen the "Wag the Dog" with Dustin Hoffman?
You might want to rent it to watch - it might put the media side of things into perspective.
Here is the movie web site: http://www.wag-the-dog.com/

Movie was so damn boring I only watched half of it. Your time would be better spent watching grass grow.
