#25 It's stupid enough to approach a burning vehicle even without Apaches hovering over it. |

#19 The beautiful thing about this is that we don't have to do it everytime to maximize payoff, just when necessary. Sorta like a pinball machine, irregular payoffs work best with primates and I assume allenists meet that standard. |

#14 Stupidity is expecting for combatants to hold fire during a photo-op. |

#13 So when is the video coming out? Or are the arab newzies censoring that one? |

#12 So much for the Holy Islamic Tradition of filmed car swarms, complete with body dragging and ululating. No more Mr. nice guy, Islamosavages. Either get civilised or get dead. In the meantime I'll pray for you to get civilised, cause I'm loving that way. |

#11 "...as he was reporting live from Baghdad on deadly clashes between US forces and insurgents." How the heck was he there so fast? Was it innocent boys throwing rocks at the Bradley? was it innoncent teenagers planting a jihad flag in the gun barrel? |

#10 Well dont ever piss off the guy in the Apachie specially if your people have just attacked his buddies in the Bradley. You wannah celebrate on some one's dead body you deserve a Hell fire up your ass camera or no camera. ( Bo Hooo Hoo ) |

#9 Why doesn't anyone ask, over and over again, "What were the Arab channels doing, waiting at the scene of an ambush *before* it happened, so they could report on it, *live*?" Ask the producer, "Is it the policy of your station to support and encourage violent acts of war, just so you can get good propaganda footage?" |

#8 What's interesting about this guy's demise is that it rated such a tiny movement on the world's pity meter. Before 911 and Belsan, we would have been, SHOCKED! SHOCKED! But now we just ponder about the wisdom of filming a car swarm in a war zone where an actual battle is going on. And we ponder the role of reporters who shill for the enemy. Are they combatants, or no? Right now I'm feeling pity for the 911 victims, the Belsan people, Sudan, etc., etc., etc. Bottom line is that my pity meter so overworked, that I'm not feeling as much here as I once might have felt. |

#7 " . . . as he was reporting live from Baghdad on deadly clashes between US forces and insurgents." Obviously, he knew the risks, and so does any other journalist over there. If they say otherwise, they're just trying to get a story published, or are trying for political brownie points from their readers or editors by featuring an "enemy"--in this case, US forces. OTOH, if they actually believe they're immune from danger in a war zone, they really like pretending. Go figure. |

#4 Might as well. Consider it OPSEC. Destroy the rest of the vehicles (M1s, Bradleys, etc.), and if someone gets in the way during their celebration, oh well. |

#3 I hope this is a new policy whereby we attack any car-swarms. I also understand that someone there had the black/yellow flag of Zarqawi's group. |
