Re: True, but one final point
>>The reporters at the actions you describe were smart enough and had the integrity to know when to keep their mouth's shut and lay their pens down.
Absolutely not true! The war department did not trust to the discretion of these exemplary reporters that used to exist but now are extinct (this is a pretty reactionary view). There were very strict arrangements worked out between the war department and the news agencies about what info would be released and how it would be released. Proper control was enforced.
There is no reason that the same arrangement could not work now.
