IF THERE IS ANYTHING that can be said to be “enjoyable” about this war, it must surely be the delights of the CENTCOM 7:00 a.m. press briefings. Handled mostly by the able Brigadier General Vincent Brooks, they shed little light on the actual progress of the war, but give a clear look into the minds of the press.

Reporters from U.S. news outlets typically ask factual questions, such as how many men are in the Fedayeen or where Iraqi chem suits were manufactured.
The foreign press seem less interested in facts and more interested in, well, see for yourself:
