On Tuesday, a Reuters cameraman was remanded to prison until trial for his part in rock-throwing attacks on security forces in Bil'in, where the separation fence is a constant target of protesters.

The cameraman, Imad Muhammad Intisar Boghnat, was arrested and charged as a result of violent riots in the Arab village of Bil'in, in the Modi'in region, on October 6, 2006. A videotape that the prosecution presented to the judge shows Boghnat encouraging and directing rioters in Bil'in to throw large chunks of rock at Israeli vehicles in such a way as to cause maximum damage. The accused is heard shouting, "Throw, throw!" and later, "Throw towards the little window!"

Good! Unfortunately the MSM slimebags will now be whining about how Israel is "imprisoning journalists"......

Here's your freakin' clue that something will go wrong.

Okay, so will Reuters now purge all of this guy's archived footage from their library?

I realize international news wire services need some native employees in the countries they cover but Reuters, and lately the AP, seems to being hiring people with strong political views in their Middle Eastern bureaus. Hardly anything from AP or Reuters out Iraq is covered by employees but instead by local "stringers" who phone their stories back to the Green Zone. One AP "correspondent" has been sitting in an Army jail for months because of his terrorist ties. Coverage of the Israeli/Hezbollah conflict was reported by another gaggle of crazy towel-heads.

Imad Muhammad Intisar Boghnat - another follower of the religion of peace documenting the truth and facts as a professional working in the MSM.

Maybe Christiana Amanpour can tell us Iran is actually miss understood and we are just the bad guys.

We could then have the 'moderate' Ray Hanania tell us about what else we are doing wrong and bad in the Middle East.

While I understand the necessity of a wire service to hire stringers, it is incumbent upon them to oversee these with adequate objective editorial control. When the editors themselves collaborate in the game then it's something much more fundamental than a rogue stringer or two. I think al-Reuters still is refusing to deal with its demonstrable anti-American bias and lately with its blatant pro-Palestinian bias as well. And that's a shame, because even with a return to editorial discipline the damage is done to Reuters' (and AP's and CNN's and AFP's) reputation, and it's permanent.

That's a great example of making the news.
