#3 Even back in the early 90s we had a joke about if you saw a press guy and a enemy who do you shoot first? The press guy, the camera does more damage.

#4 Shooting the messenger makes a lot of sense. Once again the press scores one for pornography. NYTs is not any different than Al Jazeera--probably worse if anything.

#5 I heard this one Hannity Wed. afternoon. Supposedly the still photos were printed, and the freakin' video posted on their website. Nothing but death pron junkies, like the beheaders.

This p!sses me right off, and I don't even have many military connections (except 1 friend who's in country right now). Supposedly, he was shot in the head. Can't imagine the video was pretty. The DoD should pull ALL NYTimes "passes" ASAP over this! Good gawd, when even my blood boils and I want to shoot the nearest reporter, this is beyond the pale. I'm one of the most calm, level headed people you could meet, but shoot the messenger becomes more and more appealing every day.

#7 Whenever a MSM reporter dies in a war zone, you would think they are f*ckin hero. But ask the MSM for a little decency about our military and they don't have an ounce.

#8 These NYT guys and their stringers are the enemy, so treat them like the enemy. Pictures like these are weapons of war, so the photogs are legimate targets, IMHO. A couple of them popped will stop this in a New York Minute.
