    Can you make it so we can enlarge them? Also, what's the story behind that INN photo? Is that media-relations training or something?

    With the INN photo, there are actors who play media (both western and Arab) at NTC, so they're always running around getting interviews with commanders. It really gives them a great chance to learn what how to talk to journalists.

    The really cool part though is that they take those interviews, mix them with real world INN and broadcast them to the camps. The fake INN can do a story about fertilizer being stolen from an NTC village, and if the brigade is able to track down the thief, they may be able to stop a bomb.

    Conversely, if a commander says something inconsiderate to a reporter, it can be broadcast, upset an NTC village, and make missions much more difficult since the villagers will be more hostile.
