Just announced 5 minutes ago, journalist Michael Kelley embedded with US troops for the Atlantic Monthly Magazine was reported killed during the military action at Baghdad International airport.

That's all.

I just did a similar post. I didn't see your post because I searched for titles under the name "Kelly."

[babble-on]

you make a fine point

[Cincinatus]

Any follow-up reports or confirmation on this? I've scanned the news channel sites and haven't seen any story yet.

Can an Admin Moderator modify the title from "Kelley" to "Kelly"? Causing a lot of confusion.

[Constitution Day]

Thanks for the link. I wasn't really familiar with him.
This appears to be his last article.

R.I.P., Mr. Kelly.

[Peach]

He was one of my favorite columnists and will be sadly missed.

[Dog Gone]

Thanks. What a loss.

[Rocky]

Can the title of the article be fixed to say "Baghdad" instead of "Naghdad"?

[OldFriend]

How very sad. Most of the journalists are there to serve their country in their own patriotic way.

[Carolina]

Mine, too. Prayers for his family.

[holdmuhbeer]

No thats Greg Kelly from Fox.

A terrible loss. Kelly was one of the good guys. Brilliant and very pro-American.

Michael Kelly was one of my very favorite journalists. This is awful. Well, in his own way, he served his country.

[shhrubbery!]

I don't think it's the same Michael Kelley. He is not one of the embedded journalists -- at least I don't think so. His recent columns don't reflect that, anyway.

A Kelly classic ("I Believe") here...

Man, that IS a classic.

[Alouette]

This is a tragic loss. Michael Kelly was one of my favorites. Remember Ernie Pyle.

Is there a way to correct the spelling of the name in the title of the thread? It's causing a lot of confusion.

The correct spelling is "Kelly."

[DrewsDad]

Wow, I mentioned his name last night in a discussion about the organizers of the peace riots in the U.S. He recently wrote about the anit-Iraqi Liberation protestors in his column Marching With Stalinists

International ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is a front group for the communist Workers World Party. The Workers World Party is, literally, a Stalinist organization. It rose out of a split within the old Socialist Workers Party over the Soviet Union's 1956 invasion of Hungary -- the breakaway Workers World Party was all for the invasion. International ANSWER today unquestioningly supports any despotic regime that lays any claim to socialism, or simply to anti-Americanism. It supported the butchers of Beijing after the slaughter of Tiananmen Square. It supports Saddam Hussein and his Baathist torture-state. It supports the last official Stalinist state, North Korea, in the mass starvation of its citizens. It supported Slobodan Milosevic after the massacre at Srebrenica. It supports the mullahs of Iran, and the narco-gangsters of Colombia and the bus-bombers of Hamas.
