Many of Hajj's photos have been discredited. He is a Hezbollah sympathesizer, plain and simple.

Probably nothing...

Idiot.

The Reporters know they are writing/spinning biased, anti US stories. Their papers and networks are only too happy to send/put the reporters in harms way for the purpose pure propangda. So, doesn't it fit that the news orgs. are 100% guilty of "Human Rights Violations"??? Putting their employees maximum danger for no good reason?
