The enemy was, in fact, firing from the Palestine Hotel.

A clue to our friends in the press. If you are standing next to somebody who is firing at US troops, then you are, at best, acting as a human shield for their operations. Do not be surprised when you receive return fire.

Exactly. Chances are, the reporter was standing next to the shooters to get a "story". Screw em. It's a war zone and they knew that. Bush warned them and told them all to leave.

In 2004 when fighting against Sadr and his merry men, French journalists were with his militia. They reported how horrible we were because we were actually shooting towards them! Can you believe that??!! We were actually shooting at the bad guys!

I guess for a French "man" that is a hard concept to understand: Shooting at the enemy.
