I'm just surprised that some media type didn't let the cat out of the
bag unless they took all the cell phones away

My understanding (according to Wash Post) is that that is about exactly what
happened. Reporters were given cell phones back after departing Baghdad.


Given the incessant and "uncontrolled" leakage that goes on these days,
Everyone should note that no one (NO ONE) in Congress was informed, and only
a few hand picked press who were on the craft. The way to enhance security
is to keep Congress out of the loop. Sad, isn't it?
