#4 The U.S. military in Iraq has imprisoned an Associated Press photographer for five months, accusing him of being a security threat but never filing charges or permitting a public hearing

I believe SCOTUS said they can be kept till the war is over. No hearing necessary. Caught on the battlefield with a weapons cache, tough tiddly wats. New Bulletin - Flashing a Press Card is not a 'Get Out of Jail Free' card. You are not special people. Get over yourselves. So when was the last article you ran on SPC Matt Maupin? We'll show as much concern for your boy.

#5 "Journalists have always had relationships with people that others might find unsavory," she said.

Hands up everyone who remembers when it was decided that the CIA cannot associate with "people that others might find unsavory".

Now, shouldn't our freaking intelligence service have wider lattitude in dealing with criminals and our enemies than the freaking press? Shouldn't the press be held account for what amounts to their funding terrorists and propagating enemy, um, propaganda?

Shouldn't any AP execs who authorized the continuing employment of "stringers" like Belial be investigated for treason?
