Правила Пентагона для аккредитованных СМИ в Ираке (с разрешения Администрации
Помимо самого главного трребования - все должно быть on record, то есть никаких источников не утвержденных командованием, и обычных мер безопасности (типа не бегать с фотовспышкой ночтю при проведении операции) стоит обратить внимание, как бережно и детально американцы описывают правила показа трупов, раненых, общения с ними и защиты их "privacy". С учетом культурных различий это следует перенять.
