US military controls Iraq's embedded reporters

Rod Nordland, chief foriegn correspondent for Newsweek and its Baghdad bureau chief from 2003 to 2005, has revealed how the US military are attempting to control the media in Iraq. He says that embedded reporters have been blacklisted because the authorities were unhappy with their work. He claims that censorship is imposed on embeds and that reporters are refused embedded positions if their previous work is not liked.
