(I'm talking about the heads of journalists )
Ours may in this event not be the angelical, pure good side, but the others are terorrists and idiots ( tell me about freedom fighters in the last 100 years who killed journalists...it's against their interest, so logically these are not freedom fighters ) .

Christopher Allbritton is one non-embedded reporter who visited Falujah about a month ago. He was treated very well by the insurgents who presented themselves as anti-US and by extension anti-Allawi. Considering that many in Iraq think that Allawi is a puppet (we did, after all, write his recent speech for him), one can understand if they aren't all that thrilled with their current government. Unless these people were replaced by other insurgents, then these aren't the folks who are cutting off heads.
Anyhow, this just brings home the point. Other than embedded journalists, we have no information about who is there. So we either have to take it on faith that our embedded reporters are reporting everything in a balanced manner ( which is virtually impossible considering their vantage point ) or we should be credulous about what we hear in the news.
This administration has sought to vilify anyone (including Reagan-era conservatives) who stand in their way or criticize them in the slightest. What makes you think that they won't try to paint everyone who is against the US with the same brush?
