Coyote Rummy

While reporters are denied access to new sources in the war on terrorism, the military invited ABC's entertainment division in to take their place.

They would rather make troops available as props in gung-ho videos than available to explain how the commanders let Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda leaders escape or targeted the wrong villages. Mr. Bruckheimer said his program would not usurp reporters' access. "Reporters are after breaking news," he said. "We're doing profiles." He said the Pentagon would check the show before it aired, as it did with "Black Hawk Down": "It's not censorship, but we do have a conversation."
