Larry Flynt is Suing the Defense Department for not letting him send reporters to the front lines of Afghanistan. (Thank you, Larry.)

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.
