Cheney a delay of Media in Panama invasion faulted Washington apr defense Secretary Dick Cheney so excessive concern with secrecy a coupled with a Lack of planning prevented reporters from covering the opening Battles of the . Invasion of Panama a Pentagon commissioned report said tuesday. The report also criticizes Pentagon spokesman Pete Williams for his offices preparation for Media coverage of the dec. 20 military action. A Over the five year history of Pentagon sponsored pools including a yearlong series in the persian Gulf hundreds of newsmen and new women demonstrated they could be trusted to respect essential ground rules including operational secrecy a the report said.

The report said Williams also should have tried to reach Gen. Colin Powell the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff for help in making transportation available to the Media Pool when problems arose. A some . Military concern in Panama for the safety of the Pool members impeded coverage. This concern while understandable should not have been allowed to limit the pools reporting opportunities. Newsmen and women cover wars at their own risk a the study said.
