because both side want to make propaganda:

Coallition: the war is clean, there is no anti-coallition in Iraq, there is no "collateral damage", ..... the war clean ....

Iraq: there are only collateral damage, coallition are under the fire of the great Iraq army, all Iraqi people are anti-coallition ...

propaganda on both side ......

Is it because the most effective weapon remain medias, and new reporters might be "uncontrolable"?

It's because the embedded reporters are privy to information which, if revealed, could endanger the lives of coalition forces or compromise mission objectives. That doesn't seem very hard to comprehend to me..

That is precisely correct. Anyone who watches the news knows that, too. I cannot count the number of times I have witnessed first hand news anchormen asking questions to the embedded reporters who only answer that they can't due to putting our soldiers at risk, etc..., etc...

It isn't hard to comprehend. It is quite easy to comprehend.

That being said, those with the inability to comprehend or those who simply don't want to comprehend, will not... and instead... blurt whatever other line of explanatory bologna they can think of that fits into their agenda.

The Pentagon says the war will be fought with psychology and propaganda--so how will you dummies know the truth? Bush wants your taxes for his oil--so he's going to tell some real whoppers for this bloody teaparty. SIR! YES SIR! (Salutes with rigid right arm, fixing a stare just above officer's head, spins about on ball-and-heel of feet and strides-out to glorious battle) or blue-on-blue fiasco.
