birdwatcherThe chairman of the House Armed Services Committee Friday accused CNN of showing an "enemy propaganda film" of a U.S. soldier shot by a sniper in Iraq.
Rep. Duncan Hunter, R-Calif., sent a letter to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld -- signed by two other Republican members of Congress from California -- asking that CNN reporters be barred from being embedded with U.S. troops.
"I think Americans like to think we're all in this together," Hunter said. "The average American Marine or soldier has concluded after seeing that film that CNN is not on their side."
