the media may yet wake up (and truth be told...)
Yay, another cut & paste job.
'Reuters Accuses U.S. Military in Death of Three Reporters'
'The Reuter News Agency, one of the world's oldest and most respected news organizations, unleashed a blistering attack on the leadership of U.S. military forces in Iraq Thursday, accusing it of putting into play procedures that led to the death of a Reuters TV cameramen in Iraq last year. Award-winning cameraman Mazen Dana was shot and killed by a U.S. soldier outside the notorious Abu Ghraib prison last Aug. 17 after his camera was reportedly mistaken for a grenade launcher. A military investigation later concluded that neither the soldier nor the military system was at fault in the incident. Reuters, however, charged that the shooting was the result of a system that "demonstrated significant flaws, including the way in which the military communicates, the way in which it trains its personnel and the rules and procedures that govern its conduct in the field." It was the second broadside launched by the news organization this week. On Monday Reuters disclosed that three of its journalists in Iraq, along with another from NBC, were subjected to physical and sexual abuse while being held by U.S. soldiers last January. It called the military investigation of the matter "woefully inadequate."
So perhaps we will finally get a few of the news outlets telling the truth?
There are affidavits in the Washinton Post today from former prisoners in the Abu Ghraib telling of their horrifying stories. Read them if you want to get run through the wringer.
Why haven't we impeached Bush yet?
I know, I have been lazy the past few days in my commentary on my news... I will dissertate later friends.
That's my piece.
