Well, I admit..I am "No_Expert", but when I was recalled for Desert Shield, and was watching TV at Camp LeJeune as it turned to Desert Storm, I was furious seeing reporters doing their job "LIVE" as we had troops doing deployments.
I want to see us take down Bin Laden, I want to see the Taliban rounded up and tied together using pig entrails, I want to see it all.... right after they've done it.

I was watching TV in the barracks at 29 Palms when Desert Shield turned to Desert Storm, and I know what you mean. I can only hope that the press is being used for the disinformation of our enemies while they attempt to put US servicemen in harm's way for the sake of their ratings.
In contrast to the way you've said it, I think many people want to see it live, and don't believe that it happened if they don't see Peter Arnett (CNN's Iraqi Minister of Propaganda) standing there in a bomb crater while the battle rages.
Like you, I'll be happy to see Osama's head, with a strip of fresh Oscar Meyer bacon hanging out of his mouth, on a stake in front of the US ground forces commander's tent...once it's all over.
Until then, "Loose lips sink ships."
