Michael Yon emails Instapundit, "The British Ministry of Defence cancelled my embed after today’s dispatch. Please read Bad Medicine."

Telling the truth is unforgivable it seems.

A commenter on Michael Yon's site wrote,

Quite frankly I believe it may be political and for reasons not necessarily for the protection of the troops.

It may be political, huh? Who'd a thunk? Wait. Does that mean the decision to embed Yon was political? Does that mean the war itself was political? Uh-oh, I think my head is going to explode...

Why bother telling the truth when the MSM's lie(Link)s go unchallenged?
