Send a copy to ALL reporters to let them know what will happen to them when they support our enemies - that makes the reporters ACTIVE enemies also.

Psy-Ops are essential battle tools and these "reporters" are simply the psy-ops of the islamic jihad.

Note to Mr Tomaisi:

1. Friendly Fire is NOT Friendly.

2. When there is INCOMING...FIND COVER.

3. If no cover available, stand behind a fat-body.

That only changes the texture of the hamburger.

Possibly. Depending on the size of the disgusting fat-body, one can be shielded from shrpanel and the blast effect. At the very least, the shrapnel is slowed down. In any event, with incoming, it's time to practice that old tactic of:


"GETTING THE HELL OUT OF DODGE!"

What's cool about someone- anyone- getting killed? And how is he a 'terrorist journalist', even if he works for Al Jazeera? Is that what makes it 'cool'?

Another thing to teach your kids; don't dance around disabled military vehicles that are still smoking.

And the moral of the story: stand around and gawk and/or play a part in attacks on our troops - YOU DIE.

No sympathy. Too bad.

Probably one of the idiots who celebrated on 9/11.

This is still a warzone. Bad things still happen. The reporter was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I'm sorry about what happened. But then again, I don't recall much sympathy from the International Press for the American Contractors who were killed and their bodies dragged and hung through the streets of Fallalujah.

I think this is a message to all over there. If you want to celebrate the downing of a US vehicle, soldier etc. be warned as you will be considered part and parcel to the act if you hang around the scene of the crime.

Wardrobe malfunction.

His vest blew up, somehow.

These reporters are aware that they face sever risk in the war zone and the high probablility of accidental death.

Frankly, I think they are idiots to be so close to the action.
