The formatting messed up for me.
I tried auto-excerpt the article with the auto-excerpt function.
I apologize for the error

Stuff happens eh?! I am sure that the soldiers appreciate the heart-felt concern of armchair warriors on FR!
To: Austin Willard Wright
Are you saying I should feel compassion for the soldiers who thought they were preventing an ambush?
Or that I should feel sorry for the cameraman who was colossally stupid?

Typical response! Vet's everywhere should stand up and take notice. Disgusting, though I would fight and die for your right to say it. Blackbird.
To: BlackbirdSST
I believe you're missing my point...at least, I certainly hope you are.
Because the last thing I'm trying to do here is be disrespectful of the troops who killed the journalist.

Huh....you seem to be talking on a different wavelength. We're talking about the death of yet another American soldier in this sinkhole.
To: Austin Willard Wright; BlackbirdSST
You're right, we are. My apologies to both of you, and anyone else who reads this. When I posted, the article was about the Reuters cameraman who was killed while filming a military convoy.
I have no idea where the current posting came from...

Ok, now we're really getting off the track, now that I've looked at the history of the post.
The original was an unformatted version of the complete article. The lead-in and headline talk about a soldier being killed, but the rest of the article is a whining cry-baby screed about the evil soldiers killing a poor defenseless journalist.
Sometimes excerpting the article is a bad thing.

Wierd, this cyberspace thing eh! The first sentence deal's with the recent death's of Soldier's, then jumps right into the story you were commenting on! Strange indeed. Blackbird.
