Fake heroes demand unchallenged propaganda. The Jessica Lynch story keeps on stinking (The Macon Telegraph):

Officials at Georgia Military College turned away reporters and photographers who were invited to hear a speech Wednesday [November 12] by a helicopter pilot involved in the rescue of Jessica Lynch.

Col. Jim LeBrun, the principal of GMC's high school, and Janeen Smith, the public relations director for the school, stopped members of the media outside the auditorium with "bad news."

LeBrun said Marine Maj. Craig Kopel told them before giving the speech that he would not speak if any members of the media were present. They said he did not want his name or photograph printed, though his name was in a news release announcing his appearance. Kopel was scheduled to speak to junior and high school students.

LeBrun said Kopel would "get in trouble" if he spoke to or in front of the media.

Invited journalists were informed that they were "trespassing" and were told to stand in the street off campus to keep them away from the purported hero.

How exactly would Kopel "get in trouble"? And who exactly would force these troubles upon this supposedly heroic pilot ?

Marine Maj. Craig Kopel — dupe, phony, yes-man, or all three?
