#3 As they say "The pen is mightier than the sword" or gun. Ice the pen wielders.

#8 and might I add..If you live with pigs, prepare to be slaughtered.

#9 There is no question that Coalition Forces were clearly engaged in combat operations against a hostile force,

Yup. N.M.E. Rooters, APers, you name it...

#10 Its a shame that resources have to be wasted on investigating this. "Two journos were with the enemy when we engaged." should be all that is required in the report

#11 Thought I read somewhere that the civvies were possibly killed by RPG or mortar - i.e., by the bad guys, probably just wrong place/wrong time. Also, unless my memory banks are failing (possible), Baghdad Jadidah is Shi'a territory. Reuters employees there might be Shi'a, not Sunni (thus, not part of the structural Sunni stringer problem). Not sure if Sunni stringers would feel comfortable in that neighborhood, but I sort of doubt it. Just a thought.
