Didn't the U.S just kill an Iraqi reporter yesterday?
What, the U.S. way of celebrating an anniversary?
When it is one of their own, the WAR DAILIES give them print and space (up front, of course); too bad the same can not be said for Iraqi civilians killed by U.S. forces.
"5 U.S. Troops, 2 Journalists Die in Iraq"
"ABC News reported that two Iraqi journalists working for the network's Baghdad bureau were killed by gunmen while on their way home from work Thursday night.
A statement by ABC News President David Westin identified the journalists as cameraman Alaa Uldeen Aziz, 33, and soundman Saif Laith Yousuf, 26.
ABC Baghdad correspondent Terry McCarthy said on "Good Morning America" that the pair were driving home Thursday when two cars of unknown gunmen forced their vehicle to stop, ordered them out and shot them. He said the men were reported missing Thursday night, and their deaths were confirmed Friday morning.
Their slayings bring to 104 the number of journalists killed while covering the four-year-old war in Iraq, including 11 this year and 32 last year, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, based in New York. In addition, 32 media assistants -- including drivers, guards and interpreters -- have been killed, according to the group.
Like the two ABC employees killed Thursday, 82 of the journalists slain in Iraq were Iraqis, and 61 were killed in Baghdad, one of the deadliest areas of the country for civilians, soldiers and journalists.
"Many places in Baghdad are just too dangerous for foreigners to go now, so we have Iraqi camera crews who very bravely go out, and without them we are blind," McCarthy said...."
And they don't even do that anymore, one year later.
See what I'm getting at when I talk about the absolute shit coverage by the lying AmeriKan War dailies, readers?
