#4 By taking sides, as the journalists have done, and allowing themselves to be used as weapons of war, journalists made themselves combatants.

I predicted this several years ago - that the media's willingness to be used to influence the outcome of the war would result in their becoming legitimate targets. I'm surprised it took so long.

#8 If I had to choose between saving a jurno and a hooker I would save the hooker. She actually does something useful for society.
