Hustler publisher Larry Flynt sues Defense Department over military access

WASHINGTON (AP) - Hustler magazine publisher Larry Flynt has sued the Defense Department for the right to send reporters to the front lines in Afghanistan.

Flynt asked a federal court in Washington to force the agency to loosen its restrictions on media coverage.

"The actions of American soldiers on the ground in Afghanistan are of great interest and concern to American citizens," his attorney said in the lawsuit filed last week.

The Pentagon turned down Flynt's request to allow writers to accompany troops on combat missions because of "the highly dangerous and unique nature" of the operations, according to a letter Flynt said he received this month from Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke.

There's actually words printed in that magazine?

 

Beaver Hunt: Under the Veil

 

I guess!

 

LOL

 

I'm sure it won't be very long before Playboy does a "Girls of Afghanistan" pictorial. It'll propably be called "Under the Berka" or some such.

 

That's like asking "Who reads National Geographic for the car ads?"

 

i'm with xviper.....could have fooled me with the whole words thing too

 

I didn't know there were any atricles in that mag either. Hmmm.. maybe I'm going to have to go pcik one up just to see if there is or not

 

Oh man, the sheer idiocy of that law suit astounds me. What a complete jackass...and does he think his "reporters" would be brainless enough to be sent to the front lines of the war?!

Jeezus....!
