In answer to a question I asked myself below, here are the rules for journalists covering the war. Excellent coverage on CNN this morning of the "tip of the spear" of the US Army advancing up the highway from Nasiriya to Baghdad, through a sand storm, passing civilian cars and trucks -- ! -- heading the opposite direction. Crossing the Euphrates was a major development, and they should be on the outskirts of Baghdad later today. Hopefully as that progresses there will be less resistance in Basra and the British troops can move in to distribute food and water.
