| Three Americans, including a reporter for the Washington Post, appear to have been detained in Iran. The newspaper said on July 24 that the other two Americans, not yet identified, work as freelance photojournalists. In a statement, the paper's foreign editor said, "We have received credible reports that Jason Rezaian of the Washington Post and his wife Yeganeh Salehi were detained on Tuesday evening in Tehran." The newspaper said Rezaian holds both American and Iranian citizenship. His wife is an Iranian citizen who has applied for U.S. permanent residency and works as a correspondent for a United Arab Emirates-based newspaper. |

| #2 Our family Marine tells of several correspondents that were attached at one time or another to his squad in the 2003 Iraq invasion. They whined a lot, got in the way during firefights and were always mooching extra MRE's. The guys would give them their leftover "Pasta with Vegetables", "Beef Slices in Barbeque Sauce" or "Chicken Ala King". All were especially 'nasty'. They did have a few good ones though, as they were ex-military or law enforcement types. Knew what and what-not to do. |

| #1 I hate newspapermen. They come into camp and pick up their camp rumors and print them as facts. I regard them as spies, which, in truth, they are. - William Tecumseh Sherman |
