This debate is about whether reporters should have unfettered

I vote no.
In fairness to the list I seem to be the only one arguing the
point.
### I agree with your point, although on the other hand I think that once
the Israeli forces finish whatever they are doing in the West Bank, the
aftermath must be thoroughly investigated - if too many bodies are found,
and the survivors convicingly describe improper behavior of the army, we
should know about it.
Sometimes it is understandable that informations brokers are excluded in a
conflict (a point you made quite well), but then our index of suspicion for
any improprieties should be heightened, and sooner or later impartial judges
*must* learn the truth, the point made by Harvey.
