Hunting Al Qaeda, Part II of III

"When we dropped ramp in the “Mechanics” section of Baqubah, and linked up with Iraqi soldiers, I heard my danger chimes peal. Minutes after we hit the ground—POW!—a shot was fired close by and dust kicked in the air. An Iraqi soldier had managed to accidentally fire a shot from his AK-47. They are getting much better, but not there yet. I am not sure what tipped me off that this particular group of Iraqi Soldiers wasn’t entirely squared-away, but that shot only underscored the feeling. Back in 2005, I would seek cover whenever Iraqi Army approached. It’s not like that in 2007; they are becoming a real army, but there is still room for improvement."

I am not sure if it's even possible, but Yon's reporting is getting even better.

How come the media, with all the money in the world, and all the resources can not bring anything even close to Yon to the general public. I feel sorry for people that have no other sources than the MSM. It's like the difference between an old 8mm film reel, and a brand new HD TV.
