Reuters Emailing the Terrorists

Posted by Robin Boyd on January 4, 2007 - 21:45.

We already know that two of the Reuters' reporters covering Haditha were once imprisoned by Coalition forces for their terrorist ties. Now we hear that Reuters is communicating with Mullah Omar (or one of his reps) via email...

"PESHAWAR, Pakistan (Reuters) - Taliban chief Mullah Mohammad Omar has added to the mystery over Osama bin Laden, saying he hasn't seen his ally and fellow fugitive since U.S.-backed forces ousted the Taliban from Afghanistan in late 2001.
"No, I have neither seen him, nor have I made any effort to do so, but I pray for his health and safety," Omar said in an e-mailed response to questions sent by Reuters.
The questions were relayed to Omar through his spokesman Mohammad Hanif, and a reply was received late on Wednesday."

Okay - Reuters has email contact with Mullah Omar, Taliban chief, fugitive, terrorist, etc. and reports it as if it is no big deal. What the heck is wrong with this picture? Where did Reuters get the email address from - Omar's MySpace page? Has Reuters shared this email address with the authorities - i.e. the military hunting for terrorists? Or is the email addy for personal communication only. Which Reuters' employee was involved with the email communication?

Why do we continue to tolerate this blatant terrorist enabling so-called media organization? These journalists are responsible for "telling us the story" from the front of the war on terror. I just didn't realize it was only the terrorists' story they were interested in promoting.

Heres what I don't understand, why would anyone believe an email from this POS? He should have no creditability so sending him an email with questions is about as worthless as getting a response from "Bagdad Bob"!

I'd say that a couple of well targeted Hellfire missiles at the car these 'journalists' are driving is a VALID & LEGAL TARGET in our WAR ON TERROR!!

Just have our guys tail them and watch for them to linkup with their so-called 'sources' and WHAM kill the terrorists and their supporters!

Some of the info in the Chickenhawk Express piece about the reporters being locked up and released is in some of the earlier pieces on Red's Defend Our Marines but don't know which ones right now.

Based upon these suspect sources, U.S. media largely condemned the Marines involved, and most attached that to their meme of opposition to the U.S. in Iraq.

Good piece. That and much of the other info was cussed and discussed on thread after thread in the couple months or so after Murtha's trashing of the Marines on May, 17.
