That guy has got to believe he's wearing a huge target everywhere he walks!

He probably doesn't "get it".

Not only are these photo bozos in the way during combat, they don't go into the building "first".

I have to imagine that the marines are "communicating" with the tag-alongs now. And I bet they all get the message, but they still probably don't "get it".

Don't you think that blaming the guy who just happened to be there with a camera is a little bit crazy? He didn't for the marine to shoot him. What was he supposed to do? Not report it?

Blame the Bush admin. for allowing these guys there in the first place.

Sounds like you're saying that the 'tag-alongs' got the memo, but haven't read the 'meaty' part yet.

I beg to differ. Combat photography is nowhere near a spectator event. Robert Capa, Sean Flynn, Larry Burrows, Dana Stone, the list of photographers who have been killed covering war zones is very long.

Check out the book Requiem: By the Photographers Who Died in Vietnam and Indochina edited by Tim Page, a man who himself was wounded four times in Vietnam, the last being from a landmine while trying to help wounded US Soldiers.

For this cameraman, there was nothing to "get". He has an anti-war agenda and was waiting for the opportunity to photo something "irregular" to further this agenda. As an "imbed", he had an obligation to send a copy of the video to the marine commander to proceed up the chain-of-command. Instead, what he did was espionage, and I hope he is so charged.
