If the reporter wouldn't of been there, there wouldn't of been this brutal murder and mutilation. Muslins are always playing up to the camera.

Well, they sure didn't tell the reporters "OK, tomorrow at precisely 07h45 we'll detonate a roadside bomb here and mutilate the bodies with shovels".

First thing, everybody knows Fallujah is a insurgency hotbed so it's no wonder there were reporters there. Second, if the reporters were told beforehand, it was probably something like "Be there around 07h30, something will happen that will interest you". That's what I don't like with reporters, even though it's probably unavoidable : in presence of a mas grave, they collectively thing "Oh my God....the ratings will be just great".

In a way, I'd like it to be different, with the AP/AFP crews given more precise warning. That would mean the 1st MEF could easily identify the go-between, and the go-between could spill his guts (maybe VERY literally). After that, it would turn into a manhunt and this particular group of insurgent would be offed with no problems.
