First and foremost however, words of thanks are due my fantastic parents David and Sarah who more than anyone else in my life have supported me no matter the dream. Your encouragement has been the fundament from which every great task I have accomplished has sprung. Regarding the accomplishment of completing the intensive year of studies to earn these two degrees I must first applaud all of the faculty and staff for fantastic instruction and enthusiasm for creating an engaging curricula. However, alongside the faculty and staff I must applaud and thank my colleagues in the cohort who have both been resources in and outside the classroom both scholastically and in leisure, without the balance provided and afforded through them the task at hand could very well have been overwhelming. Finally, last but certainly not least, I must extend a word of thanks directly to my advisor in the project, Lourdes Pullicino. Without your assistance in paring down my ideas I would be lost. Your patience and sincerity have not gone unnoticed and I cannot thank you enough for the feedback you’ve given me along the way. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page List of Figures

  • Of Embedded Journalism: the New Media/Military Relationship by Kylie Tuosto
    Stanford Journal of International Relations The "Grunt Truth" of Embedded Journalism: The New Media/Military Relationship By Kylie Tuosto The following article is an exploration and critique of the media-military relationship during times of war. War correspondence has always required a difficult balance of censorship and free press, but with advances in technology and the use of embedded reporters, the problem has grown quite complex. This article argues that in addition to the classic problems of objectivity in war correspondence, the use of embedded reporters has also led to an unprecedented media-military collaboration. A collaborative effort by both the government and the so-called "free press" allows for a pro-war propaganda machine disguised as an objective eyewitness account of the war effort in Iraq. The problems exposed in this article have greater implications for the media and government relationship at large and open { doors for further research and exploration of war correspondence in general. } Longwarjournal.com Embedded journalists make scenes like this one from Jalulah, Iraq accessible to the American public, but at what cost? 20 • Fall/Winter 2008 Embedded Journalsim “We didn’t want to be in bed with the military, tactics, few, if any, questioned US policy.

  • One of Us Is F@#*In' Crazy
    One Of Us Is F@#*in’ Crazy Letters To 'Great' Americans By Andy Bain Copyright 2011 Andy Bain Smashwords Edition ************ 139 Elm Park Mansions. Charlotte, NC 28269 June 25th, 2010 General George W. Casey Jr. Chief of Staff of the Army 1400 Defense Pentagon Washington DC 20301-1400 Dear General Casey, Sir, I write to alert you to a scandalous act of treachery, during time of war, by the portly cinematographer Michael Moore. On his website yesterday he posted an open letter to President Obama on the subject of General Stanley McCrystal. He said: “Let me be blunt: We love our kids in the armed services, but we f*#&in' hate these generals, from Westmoreland in Vietnam to, yes, even Colin Powell for lying to the UN with his made-up drawings of WMD...” (http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/mikes-letter/open-letter-president-obama- michael-moore) Please find enclosed $20, which I hope you will use towards the prosecution of this unpatriotic scoundrel. Moore’s gripe appears to be that our military leaders often appear to be mendacious dissemblers. But what would happen to morale if general officers blurted out that Iraq is the worst hell disaster in US history or Afghanistan an endless, pointless, mind-numbingly futile meat grinder? Yours Sincerely Andy Bain PS. The Rolling Stone article, which led to General McCrystals defenestration, is a national disgrace too. How can we defeat illiterate peasants in the third world when unwashed hippies in this country are allowed to pen, “The general's staff is a handpicked collection of killers, spies, geniuses, patriots, political operators and outright maniacs?” ********** DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF 200 ARMY PENTAGON WASHINGTON DC 20310-0200 JUL 21 2010 REPLY TO ATTENTION OF OFFICE OF THE CHIEF OF STAFF Mr.

    DISPATCHES Staying Out, Staying Safe A series of campus attacks gives cause for caution — but not panic. Karissa Cerroni x’07 never walks home alone from the JEFF MILLER library, where she often wraps up study sessions well after midnight in her quest to go to medical school.
