Absolutely. I think Scot's point really has to do with North's appeal, which tends to be to the fairly far right. Former marine or not, "embedding" him as a reporter makes a statement in much the way embedding Ralph Nader as a reporter would. (Although Nader wandering off and trying to find manufacturing defects in Abrams tanks could be a source of unexpected entertainment.)
