Pentagon Trip!
The trip to the Pentagon was a unique experience. The Press Conference was the most distinct part. I felt so important to hear the news about Iraq directly from a colonel. Although I was tired, it was still exciting to sit in a press conference room connected by video to a military station in Iraq. Talking to the journalists was the most educational part of the trip. I had no idea that the press actually had offices in the Pentagon. The Pentagon is full of military intelligence, so it did not strike me as a place that would house the press. I also enjoyed hearing their perspective on working in the Pentagon and journalism in general. The tour was a lot of fun as well, and I look forward to the White House on Tuesday!

I know you all had to get up extra early this morning, but it sounds like the trip to the Pentagon was well worth it. I'm enjoying reading your reactions. It is interesting, as one of you noted, that journalists have offices inside the Pentagon. You also saw the offices they have in the Capitol. You'll find that reporters have offices at the State Department and Supreme Court too (and of course the White House). Why? Because we live in an open society. and journalists serve as the public's eyes and ears.--
