The Rolling Stone reporter whose story about General Stanley McChrystal ended that officer's Army career has been denied a subsequent request to embed with US troops in Afghanistan.
“There is no right to embed,” Lapan said. “It is a choice made between units and individual reporters, and a key element of an embed is having trust that the individuals are going to abide by the ground rules. So in that instance the command in Afghanistan decided there wasn’t the trust requisite and denied this request.”
I wonder if the reporter is surprised? I also wonder if he'll try and sue to force an embed?
