ABCNEWS.com : Military Rescinds Iraq Media-Access Order: "The U.S. military briefly issued an order Thursday that could have restricted journalists from accompanying American troops on all but routine missions in Iraq, including operations aimed at capturing or killing Saddam Hussein.
The directive told commanders throughout Iraq that reporters, photographers and television crews would be prohibited from traveling with the military on some operations as so-called 'embedded' journalists. The U.S. military headquarters in Baghdad rescinded the order shortly after The Associated Press reported on it. No explanation was given."
They later rescinded the order, as the story mentions. My conspiracy minded guess is that this is the build up to operation 'Plant WMD' and they don't want no snoopy reporters around when it goes down.
