CBS Cameraman Shot By US Troops Under Arrest

Troops believe he was working for insurgents, not just covering them as reporter.

Just announced on CNN. Developing...

[John Lenin]

We used to shoot horse thieves.

[used2BDem]

Yes, I did. I thought Iraqi's worked for US media as interpreters, didn't know about cameramen, too.

[lilylangtree]

Doesn't surprise me a bit to find out the reporters are working for the terrorists who are nicely called "insurgents" by MSM.

[J. Rzrezsk]

CBS is an objective news agency. Their objective is to question all things American.

[Joe Miner]

This cameraman is an iraqi, right?

I will be truly shocked if it is an American, just can't believe that. Probably Iraqi or maybe Palistinian like that one that was killed a year ago.

[Bahbah]

Hah, I just heard this. I knew FR would be on top of it.

[CAP811]

Damned 5.56mm

[used2BDem]

Mmmm, give them about five minutes or so. Especially if he IS American. (Do we know for sure he is Iraqi?)

[thoughtomator]

If we targeted them, they'd be dead.

[Petronski]

This will be proven to be a frame and a coverup on 60 Minutes II using unvetted memos in proportional font.

[george wythe]

CBS employee LITERALLY working for the enemy of the USA.

This is very disturbing.

I'm hoping that he was a freelancer that sometimes shared his film with CBS, but I know that it does not look too good for CBS.

CNN already admitted to being a propaganda arm of the Saddam Hussein regime, because the Iraqi dictator only allowed favorable coverage. {CNN is the only American network with a permanent bureau in Havana; you draw your own conclusions}

CBS took it to a lower level.

>>Coulda been Zarqawi for all we know.<<

Maybe Zarqawi crossed the border from Mexico and now is Dan Rather's honorable guest. LOL

[clintonh8r]

No, just speculation on my part.

[CAP811]

CBS or Zarqawi some difference.

[TommyDale]

I thought the headline was saying that the troops were under arrest when they shot him!

[BlueNgold]

CBS?
Come on. Say it ain't so!
They are all patriots and scholars with the highest morals and ethics over there...

[Walkin Man]

Do they still hang traitors and spys caught on the frontline of a war??

[Steel Wolf]

An Iraqi "freelance" cameraman. Who happens to sometimes work for CBS news. Coulda been Zarqawi for all we know.

That's a reckless and unjustified accusation to make against an American news organization. They'd never hire someone like Abu Musab al Zarqawi as a freelance cameraman.

(Although they'd love to have him full time. Contract negotiations are currently stalled, as Zarqawi insists on being paid in virgins, rocket propelled grenades, and severed infidel heads.)

[Osage Orange]

Is Dan Rather moonlighting as a cameraman now?

[rwfromkansas]

Surely it is an Iraqi
