Dirty (em)Bedding?

I read this article in the New York Times yesterday, and it sure raised a few questions in my mind about military censorship of the press. Why does this writer need to submit a story to the military now, when hostilities in Iraq have pretty much ceased? Will the military censor the media in the new, "free" Iraq?

Nice to see Slate is, as always, keeping a critical eye on things, and Jack Shafer is on the case.
