The video this 32 year old non military service member of congress was also picked up by a few other sites as well, but no mainstream that I could find. I took Brandons posts, others probably did as well, and sent them to a number of people, I also sent, just the links, to McClatchy which also owns the Charlotte Observer.
Wether my send, or that coupled with others sending, or they found it themselves, McClatchy picked it up and printed, also in the Observer and their other papers I'm sure.
Brandon has the post up at Vet Voice: Media Picks up on McHenry; Pentagon Gets Involved with the linkbacks to McClatchy and the Charlotte Observer articles, but a couple of snippets:
Pentagon tells lawmaker not to air Green Zone video again
The Pentagon told a North Carolina lawmaker Tuesday that he couldn’t re-air a video he'd shot in Baghdad after accusations surfaced that he breached operational security in detailing enemy rocket attacks.
Rep. Patrick McHenry faces accusations his video breached security
"The bottom line is that whoever launched that strike could take the information McHenry provided and use it to kill Americans in the Green Zone," wrote Brandon Friedman, vice chairman of VoteVets.org, a veterans advocacy group that has called for troop withdrawal and promoted veterans for political office.
"This is why professionals operating in a combat zone are trained not to reveal any battle damage after an attack."
Now this youngster, a rubber stamper for administration policy, never in the military himself, but a chest thumper of his toughness on using others in the Failed Policies of the Continuing Occupation, has made statements deploring Exactly what he himself finally did!
Brandon has those links, and more, at the first two posts, as well as a great writeup on the media pickup in his post today.
This little 'chickenhawk' needs to be brought back to his home and strapped to his perch, not Sitting in the Halls Of Congress and Committing Treason Directly From A Combat Theater, wether ne knew it or not!!!
