Let's see...we haven't had Rumsfeld in our sights for a couple of weeks now. Let's see if we can get the ASC fired up enough to embarrass him and Bush some more! Americans are like any other people...if they hear/see enough smoke, they're going to believe there's got to be some fire there somewhere. Hillary's husband says she needs our help!

In a free and open society, it's a sad testiment to the current state of affairs when I view the culling and harrassment of journalists to be a good thing.

It was a bad idea to let the media into a war zone to being with -- especially an anti-American, anti-military, anti-Bush media -- that just serves to aid and abet our enemies.
Bad decision.

Schlesinger said Reuters and other reputable international news organisations were concerned by the sizeable and rapidly increasing number of journalists detained by US forces.
"Reputable" in my humble opinion means being able to present both sides of a story ACCURATELY..perhaps the good guys recognize Reuters for what it is, ANTI-U.S., ANTI-troops, ANTI-war and willing to do whatever it can to embarrass us and sympathize with the terrorists..(Reuters does NOT use the word terrorists by the way, they prefer "insurgents"..political correctness and all)..

In a letter to Virginia Republican Sen. John Warner, head of the Senate Armed Services Committee, Reuters said US forces were limiting the ability of independent journalists to operate. So they sit in their hotels and make up stories that have little basis in fact.
There is nothing that says the military has protect the media, especially when the media is functioning as the enemy. Frankly, I'm proud of the restraint the military has shown. If they had not been showing restraint, there wouldn't be a member of the media alive anywhere on the face of the planet.

Reuters is mad because they want to accompany the terrorists to glorify their actions. They don't like the consequences such as being shot with their terrorist buddies.
The left will accept nothing less than total defeat of our troops unless, of course, the left is in power.

We (nominally, "Iraq") do not need to let any reporters in at all. Those who come in, are under no illusion about the danger of being mistaken for the enemy, that is if they aren't actually the enemy already.

I'm guessing that the only news source most freepers would find reputable, would be the ones that denied these charges...

After WWII, American and
BRITISH forces occupying Germany made reporting on the German insurgency a capital crime and punished violations my military tribunal.
Its too late to do that in Iraq, but not too late to impede the progress of propagandists. Killing them is not an option, but refusing to make special no-fire zones so they travel unimpeded is justified.

.... what was the guidance to US forces on how to distinguish legitimate journalists from insurgents. How about this for guidance?
Anyone accompanying "insurgents", by Geneva Convention definition, is an enemy combatant.
