Prayers lifted for Ms. Dozier's recovery, for the families of the victims, and for all of our troops.
Do you really think that's what I meant? Good grief.
While touring NBC Studios during a recent trip to NYC, saw they had a nice memorial set up for newspeople who had lost their lives covering wars. Along with brief bios and stories, they had some poignant personal items (cameras, notebooks, eyeglasses, etc.) they had with them when they were killed. It was quite a roster, going back through VietNam to WWII.
Mixed feelings: watching your mother-in-law drive your brand new Cadillac off a cliff!
this sounds rather cold, i know, but it looks like they got a hole in their bucket thanks to Jack.
This is the umpteenth story about this event.
You'd think CBS was the only people who ever got hit by an IED.
I thought the only human rights majors were full ride athletic scholarship knuckle draggers.
It was America-hating TERRORISTS that killed cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42, and injured correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39.
Therefore, the title of the CBS article should read,"cBS Crew Hit By Friendly Fire."
It's the only one that counts because they are one of them, a journalist and crew. The dead and wounded American and coalition troops are only numbers to be used in stories about chaos, civil war, a quagmire, and, of course, Bush lied.
Two questions:
1) Was the CBS team attacked by INSURGENTS or TERRORISTS?
2) At what point is a MSM person gonna blame Bush for this (explicitly, that is)?
(When I find the "sarcasm off" button, I'll let you know)
Howlin, thanks for the ping. I am sorry to read this and extend sincere condolences to the families and loved ones of these reporters.
I just wish to GOD the western press could learn from this and quit helping the enemy and start helping the good guys.
Yet, I won't be holding my breath.
Sad news here, though.
Using "contrarian-think," this is exactly the strategy I'd use if I was a terrorist. Hitting media people guarantees very high-profile anti-war Western news coverage. This strategy exploits another Western vulnerability and puts more pressure on the Administration.

Prayers, respect and hope for all who were injured in the attack, but I somewhat disagree.
Terrorists attacking the very media which is day after day, obediently spreading (the terrorists') message via their reporting, is akin to "friendly fire".
This might work against the terrorists. If journalists have even one bit of humanity and patriotism.
These reporters do not go to Iraq to report the news the the AMerican people. They go to enhance their resumes and make more money and in hopes of having an incestuous enclave of like-minded journalist vote to give them a Peabody or other award. But don't be naive enough to think these journalist are idealistic. They go thinking it cannot happen to them, and when it does, their friends, who happen to control the airwaves, lament their loss publically.
I've been reading some of Ernie Pyle's books the last month. I wish the media could report like they used to.
That aside, prayers up.
Well, at least these are some casualties the MSM ACTUALLY cares about.
I pray that she will make a full recovery.
Prayers of comfort also for the families who lost their loved ones in this horrible act of terrorism.
Harms way is harms way. Media be careful.
