Journalist group calls US to account over Iraq

Dominic Timms Friday February 18, 2005

The US government was today accused of hiding behind a "culture of denial" over the deaths of at least 12 journalists who are alleged to have perished at the hands of the US military in Iraq.

Re-igniting the debate that US soldiers deliberately "targeted" journalists during the Iraqi occupation, a press freedom body called on the US to take "responsibility" for its actions in the country.

Responding to what it said was the "hounding out" of the CNN news chief, Eason Jordan, the International Federation of Journalists called on the US administration to come clean over its "mistakes" in the region.

His words linger on...

"The US government was today accused of hiding behind a "culture of denial" over the deaths of at least 12 journalists who are alleged to have perished at the hands of the US military in Iraq."

Ok boys, where's the evidence? Not hear-say 5th-hand info from the friend of a cousin of hHillary's illegitimate brother-in-law. Real, first-hand, documented evidence.

Oh, you don't have it? Sorry, next, thankyou for playing.


Braaaannnnnn

Game over.

So, why isn't the American Press going after this like they did Abu Ghraib? Leave CNN out of this. Jordan has made those claims since '93, and continued right up till a couple of weeks ago. Why has the proof not been offered, and WHY isn't the press interested in finding the truth?

Blaming a blogger that reported the words at the WEF, is pretty damn weak. Jordan has been saying this for years, SO WHERES THE INVESTIGATION? Too busy blaming bloggers for WHAT? It's not that it was REPORTED, it's that the press was HIDING what Jordan was saying around the world. That's the story. And you gotta ask why?
