Frankly, I'm sick and tired of this misplaced idea that "the press" is some sort of sanctified, protected class.
It's a business, however there are constitutional protections against government meddling in that business.
But because someone's a "member of the press," they have no rights or protections greater than any other citizen.
And any citizen who's stupid enough to plant themselves in the middle of a war zone, and claim that they're neutral had better be prepared for the consequences.
Frankly, I have no problems at all with reporters being shot and killed in a war zone, given their "neutrality."
The sad thing is that they claim the protections granted by the military that they demean.

Just a reminder, Kerry & Clinton both supported our entry into the World Court. What a fiasco that would be.
At least these Spaniards didn't have to witness the torment and beheading of one of their journalist.
Hey Spain! You want those soldiers?
Molon Labe.
Wonder if this moronic "judge" would like it if we responded to his request with a B-52 bombardment of his courthouse.
SPAIN...the OTHER France
Not suprised by this at all. Spain was defeated by Al Quaeda.
A Spanish judge has issued an international arrest order for three US soldiers whose tank fired at a Baghdad hotel during the war in Iraq, killing a Spanish journalist, a court official said Wednesday.
Screw the Spanish Cowards, One train bomb and they fold like the bastard children of some Drunken French child molester.
I dont give a damn what these Communist pinkos say or do.
Let Allah take them.
Our tanks have a crew of four. Wonder where the fourth guy was, or why he was left off the indictment.
Cancel all SDI work immediately. Begin development on a system that shoots down projectiles that may threaten idiotic journalists.
Suck it up Spain and get rid of your leftist "leader".
<< Many FReepers have feared the day when US soldiers are no longer going to be able to travel outside the US without risk of being prosecuted. It seems that day is coming closer. >>
Rubbish. We will take the War for Judeo-Christian/Human Civilization to Soain before that will happen!
And, on the subject of the gutlessly terrorist-appeasing EUro/Spanish socialists:
With what part, Spain, of "You are either with and of US or you are with and of the [Islamanazis]," are you having most difficulty?
Our troops were and are engaged in a war against terrorists.
Spain's former leader was loyal ally, the appeaser in office now is not.
Dear Spain: Don't make me come back down there and kick your ass again. - Teddy Roosevelt
So now it's first
Iraq, then
Iran, and
North Korea, and
France, and the newly added....

Many people in Europe have lost any faith , belief,and moral
values.Some people,like this spanish judge and some french lawyers,would love to prosecute USA ,and his president,instead of S.Hussein....
You are great! Ulysse
Maybe an US judge might issue an international arrest order for the spanish judge?
Saw this one did you?
...as if those COMMONLY described as terrorists aren't enough, now we have this judge...
