News to me, I think these guys should get the max, In a war zone thats about a 40 cent bullet.
this was the pictures of the dead american soldiers that sludge showed on his front page?
Who knew they'd actually take up arms against us???
"that's not what it says" ???
Read again .. maybe it wasn't verbatim but it said the same:
The media, who were at the scene prior to the attack, told soldiers at the scene they had received a tip to be at that location prior to the attack and they had witnessed the explosion
they knew about it, they were there BEFORE the explosion, they witnessed the entire episode - and NEVER WARNED THE AMERICAN TROOPS
They should have shot the bastards because they ARE ENEMY COMBATANTS!
I'm sure we are protecting them for PC reasons. It stinks. AND you know D***** well they knew it was to blow up soldiers even though they never said so/
Well, my first thought is this has to be Al Jazeera.
As much as the western media would love to get close to the terrorists - they don't trust the western media, AFAICT.
I'm reminded of all the nice pictures reuters took of the five 1st Cav casualties of last Friday's bombing.
Sounds to me like they need to round up the "jounalists" from Al Jazeera and use them to clear mine fields.
No. The CENTCOM release says exactly what happened. THe journalists got a note to go somewhere and that's it. No other info was given. The bomb went off after they showed up. The title and claims are more than misleading, they are a lie.
....sometime ago...A NY judge ruled "Journalism" has NO cliam as a profession....b/c, It has no ethics.
Not that I dare question the media's patriotism, but this smacks of aiding and abetting the enemy.
Be they Al Jazeera or anyone else, they simply out to be tried and shot. Then blame it on Bush. The American people will give him CREDIT if any news org. wants to make a stink about it.
Blog request John.
If someone got a call like that I pray they have the sense to give the military/police etc a warning. Anything less is totally irresponsible.
The report is useless unless the organization the so-called journalist and the two cameramen work for is named.
International law holds that the media is an independent agent and is not to be used as a covert intel source.
Either they are working with the terrorists or they are terrorists... for or against us. Just proof of what several of us have been saying for a while. Long time since we should have blown Al Jazzy and the other one to kingdom come.
Right. Figure out how they knew what was going to happen before it did. " 1... they knew about the attack before it happened"
They had no knowledge an attack was going to take place. "2... they arrived before the attack
They had no knowledge an attack was going to take place.
"3... they watched the attack
They had no prior knowledge of what they saw.
