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.
Do you recall the Muslim cameraman that Michael Moore had working for him in Iraq?
I believe I have a photo of him in my files.
He was born in the ME but had lived in the USA - he also lived for quite a while with terrorist groups in Iraq.
Might be good to follow up as that appears to be a pattern used by our media in Iraq - get the blood on video - no matter how.
After all, journalists are just unbiased "neutral" observers........ according to our patriotic American news honchos.......
Most likely they were snookered too.
Thing that bothers me is what type of footage has this guy shot up till now? Where was the film in his camera when he got shot headed? To al Jezzera?
We sure as heck haven't seen gun battles from behind their enemy lines on the nightly news.
I don't think you can connect CNN's treason with CBS' bad luck.
