Any idea what a "fixer" means?

The guy who channels the payments from CBS to the local terrorists?

I think a "fixer" in this case is one that fixes the outcome of combat to suffice for the "news". CBS probably had lots of "fixers" in Vietnam too.

"This murderous scum, barely vetted by CBS (he was recommended by some person they've worked with for two years), should be prosecuted under the fullest extent of the law."

The CBS Executives should be charged with accessory to murder because if not for their actions by allowing this, the insurgents would have had one less propaganda tool.

Hope they're thoroughly investigating whoever hired the cameraman. I wouldn't put it past a CBS reporter or exec to knowingly hire a terrorist. In any case it needs to be checked out.

"The suspected insurgent was killed, the military said.

You mean Dan Rather wasn't shot???

"The headline was a bit confusing."

It wasn't to me. It just says what it says, ie, "CBS Cameraman Shot By US Troops Under Arrest." That is, US troops, while under arrest, shot the cameraman.

"At first I thought it was saying he was shot while under arrest."

Nope, it says that the US troops, who were under arrest, shot the cameraman.

Ok, now who at CBS told him to go and be with terrorists to film their work? And who above that CBS'er authorized this? Let the interrogation begin.

IIRC - The grenade thrown into an American tent by a fellow GI was about 2 years ago in Iraq or was it Kuwait?

Re:Jane Fonda - I don't have specifics, but I saw an ex POW in the last 2 days (I believe on Foxnews) say he was told by another POW that they gave her a notes about vietcong torturing GI's to spread to the world, but that she just turned it over to the captors and they increased their torture level of GI's. I wonder if some ex POW's will come forward on this?!!

*Someone please help verify.*

Satire

CBS to Give CIA Tips on Infiltrating Enemy Groups
by Scott Ott
(2005-04-08) -- After U.S. troops this week arrested a cameraman employed by CBS who apparently also worked for the Iraqi insurgency, the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) asked CBS News president Andrew Heyward for "some tips on infiltrating enemy organizations," according to an unnamed source.

"The CIA has not been able to get any reliable human intelligence out of Iraq for years," said the source. "But CBS News has a double-agent on the payroll. Although, working for both CBS and the terrorists might not qualify him, strictly speaking, as a 'double' agent."

In response to the CIA request, the CBS News chief said he would "do what he could, as a patriotic American, to help the CIA. But there's no trick to getting good information like this. It's all about trust."

Retired CBS anchor Dan Rather, who personally interviewed Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein in his palace shortly before the Iraq war, said, "The line between journalists and their sources sometimes gets as blurry as a pair of spectacles smeared with bacon grease. And if you have to curry favor with a tyrant, or put an insurgent on the payroll, well...that's just the price of getting to the truth."

That's an urban legend. A google search or snopes.com search will explain the whole story of that legend. Fonda has done some bad things, but that was not one of them. If you could, let the guy who told you that one know that it's an urban legend too....

Reading Snopes, Ask Jeeves, etc. the only part of the story that is apparently fabricated is the officer who supposedly wrote about it. Hanoi Jane (Hane, you filthy slut!) was, is and will always be a traitor!
