It's fun writing a blog.
"No Blood For Footage" indeed... anybody know what news outlet those goons belong(ed) to?
DO you have any more specific data that would help demonstrate the veracity of this account? I'm not saying I don't believe it (I do), but the scant detail available in this report makes it sound like an urban legend.
Sounds entirely possible to me, but you need more facts and evidence to back up this post.
Yeah. Here's the info "straight from the horse's mouth:" CENTCOM.

al Gorezeera TV maybe???
Here's another thread about the same incident:

BTW, does anyone know who the journalists were working for?
Was it one of ours? We need to OUT the STEEKING BASTICHES!
I wonder what kind of footage you could get of a presstitute getting lit up by a Ma Deuce.
If you think cameramen and 'journalists' of the Michael Moore persuasion wouldn't really film an attack on our troops while doing nothing, consider all the staged protest pics they crank out during events like the G8 summit. Every now and then a pic leaks out that unintentionally shows the 'big picture' around the protesters such as a dozen cameras focused on one or two brick-throwers, the latter being coached by the photogs to 'stand over there' and 'throw another one' etc. Their whole reputation revolves around delivering 'the shot' or 'the interview' to their media daddies and I don't think for a minute they would hesitate to setup and film the deaths of our troops.
No problem with your skepticism, but it was reported by CENTCOM.
It's possible they were victimized as well, but the chances are slimmer.
Check out this report.
There was an earlier report as well, but I can't find it right now.
If the press knew about the ambush and said nothing...then they are as guilty as the terrorists who set the IED or those who detonated it....
They should be tried fairly and subsequently shot for treason...
imo
"the Reuters guys that were not treated so nicely"
Hmmmm? That's a good guess.
I too think these people should be exposed. When the 4 contractors were killed and butchered, there was talk then that there were several media people present when it happened.
WE NEED TO PUT A STOP TO THIS .. NOW!!
was this OUR (U.S.) MEDIA and not Al-jizeera ?!?!?!?!!?!?
Very short. Too short for the scum. How about an M-16 with a .22lr adapter installed? Semi-auto mode only. One shot every few tens of seconds. Use lard for bullet lube, if appropriate.
The extraordinary part, however, is that they said nothing to the US troops even though they are agents of one of our staunchest allies, the Israelis.
In fact, it may have been that the Israeli (Mossad) agents working as Reuters reporters were trying to establish their credentials wwith the Iraqi kerrorists and that is why they said nothing. I sure hope the Mossad is getting value from their agents under cover as Reuters' reporters.
Dude, you're evil (c8
