I don't think the media should even be allowed in the country.

No. It's called freedom of speech and you might want to take a look at the first amendment to the Constitution. It's okay to differ with the government and for the media to, objectively or unobjectively (see Fox), broadcast disagreements and attempts to stop spending on this mess in order to get our troops the hell out of there. As for reporting troop movements and tactics, provide specifics. Most such reporting is also protected speech and I've yet to hear of any concern from the military apart from the leadership's general disdain for and concern about GW.

Its true that we show an awful lot a domestic disagreement. This isn't helped by themedia at all. However, I have never seen troop tactics on TV. We really need to pull out of this war anyways.

The media reports government debate over war budget issues because that is how we, as Americans, can make decisions as to who is best representing us. Military related matters are, for the most part, collected under military supervision. In this world, the only way to prevent people from getting this information is to revert to a government controlled press. Is that what you are advocating?

It causes other countries psychological problems! That is to say showing American troops makes others feel afraid! I don't like it! I never watch them!

no none of what you mentioned helps the enemy.
however, al quaeda now gets nearly 100% of it's funding from iraq related activities.
you war supporters are also now responsible for the continuation of al quaeda.

Terrorists are going to use everything to their advantage, especially media. They even use google earth to plan their ambushes and IED planting activities. Thanks for the info provided over the web, and tv.

If the media has access to it, then usually, it is public knowledge. Thus, it wouldn't be difficult for the baddies just to find out themselves.

Your right about that. Nothing we can do about, though.
