Rules of engagement

Article Abstract:

The U.S. military offered unfettered reporting to embedded journalist during the Iraq war, but the Homeland Security Act withdrew access to vital information at home, as they did not fully let down the bars to open journalism during the Gulf War of 1991. Citing the need to guard against Al Qaeda terrorism, the Bush administration curtailed access to information bearing as per the federal government and the editors know that threat can be put in place if kept with excessive secrecy and surveillance that impinges on civil liberties.

Press vs. White House: Has the post-9/11 tug-of-war between the media and the Bush administration tipped the balance in favor of the power

Article Abstract:

The tension between power and the press, between spinning and searching for truth, between disinformation and information is endemic to the human condition. In the absence of governmental checks and balances present in other areas of the national life, the only effective restraint upon executive policy and power in the areas of national defense and international affairs in the US may lie in an enlightened citizenry in an informed and critical public opinion which alone can protect the values of democratic government.
