Evidently French photographers can act like they are French Military once in a while.
From Captain’s Quarters:

Q - Is it preferrable to report from an embedded military unit, or do you prefer to roam about the city without their protection? I presume the quality of reporting is better if you aren’t chained to a branch of the military, but it certainly seems much more dangerous to move about Iraq without their security. …
A - Unfortunately, it is impossible to roam about the city without protection. The only way we can cover this offensive for now is with the military. I should note that the insurgents offered embed spots to us as well. Only a French photographer took them up on it. He was detained by US forces yesterday as he fled his embed.

I can’t believe that they had to detain a photographer because he ran away.
Guess they just can’t take hanging with the… uhhh, what unit was he embedded with? The Coast Guard out of San Diego? That can’t be right!
