Calif. Republican asks Pentagon to remove embedded CNN reporters

SAN DIEGO - The chairman of the House Armed Services Committee asked the Pentagon on Friday to remove CNN reporters embedded with U.S. combat troops, saying the network's broadcast of a video showing insurgent snipers targeting U.S. soldiers was tantamount to airing an enemy propaganda film.

The tape, which came to the network through contact with an insurgent leader, was aired Wednesday night on "Anderson Cooper 360" and repeated Thursday.

In a letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., wrote: "CNN has now served as the publicist for an enemy propaganda film featuring the killing of an American soldier."

The letter was also signed by San Diego-area Republican congressmen Darrell Issa and Brian Bilbray.

1. Please remove the embedded reporters

as they do not serve our political purposes anymore. Thank you.

2. CNN producers should be charged with treason

for broadcasting messages that oppose Bush's foreign policy, like they did to Adam Gadahn. =sarcasm=

3. My nephew has seved two tours in Iraq as a Marine

Our troops are being used as cannon fodder and I commend CNN for showing how it is. It's time the reporters stand up for the troops and tell the truth unlike some Faux news sources.
