On Al-Jazeera, (the western press does not have a monopoly on fools)

Rugged field reporter commenting on US paratroopers digging in in N Iraq after successful paradrop. "...and there are now digging in to make defensive positions."
Nice female anchor. "Can you tell us why they are filling all those bags with soil?"

Not 10 secs later she is talking to another newsie in Baghdad
Rugged city reporter. "...and you can see trails from the B-52s, which are equipped with jammers to make interference so the SAMs cannot engage them."
Nice female anchor. "Why would they want to that?"
The reporter, lost for words, thanks Allah when the sound of explosions cut his report short

The lady concerned is very nice but is called Fatima, woah, frightening thought.
