News Reporting in Iraq

I really liked the two small articles we read for class that were all journalists quotes about reporting in Iraq and under the CPA. I think that back here at home Americans did not realize just how bad it was over there until things were really looking dismal. As someone who has friends that have died over there fighting I find it appalling that with news like this being created the American public did not learn enough about it. Things have been really bad and scary in this war, this endless war that doesn't seem possible to end. I think as a journalist the scariest possibility I could think of is reporting in war times. It is no secret that reporting in the Iraq war is highly dangerous and perhaps fatal. I wonder what news organizations do to help their reporters adjust once they return from the battlezone.
