Acting on my own suggestion in the previous post, here is what a “news resourcer” might come up with to put some perspective around the report about G.I.s who have been “busted” for talking to reporters about morale in Iraq. This kind of background can be compiled easily, and while mine only includes Internet sources, can contain other links (both free and paid), and can complement a story that runs in any media that includes a web link.
