#1 This is an outrageous way for members of the M$M to be treated.Did they check this guy for press credentials? His rights as the penumbra of a TLA network emanation are being abridged. Where's the ACLU? Where's the outrage?

$200 per film? That's twice what AP pays. Oil for film, a UN program, probably.

#2 that's good - assure him that his execution will be filmed as well. Should be some comfort

#6 Now the question is... Did CBS know about his -er- photographic exploits when they hired him. Is that what they were looking for?

No doubt the MSM will be all over this. Only they will spin it as a violation of the press.....

#7 Real fruitcakes never use words like penumbra, emanation or abridged correctly. That's how you can tell it's sarcasm when you read it here at the 'Burg. ;-)

#10 Uh, he was not a member of the mainstream media.

At the least, he was an Iraqi photographer/videographer who was paid to work with the terrorists. At the most, he was a stringer feeding Arab networks beheading/kidnapping videos.
