Sorry to hear that.
Any journalist (any) shows a lot of guts going over there and trying to report the story.
Our military families deal with ever day - it’s horrible.
Two more lives lost - two families struck with tragedy.
Shame.

Prayers up for them.
Baghdad is a war zone.

why would [they] kill someone that is on their side? Because Allah told them to in the Qur'an...It's in there somewhere between having sex with underage girls and stoning rape victims.

It looks like they were natives not that it makes any difference?

Natives - yes - I just saw that.
Iraqi reporters - a new concept no doubt - thanks to us.

Misunderstanding, I would say. Just because you are on their side doesn’t mean that the terrorists won’t kill you.

ABC has no journalists. The deceased were propagandists

"Today we've lost two family members," said ABC News correspondent Terry McCarthy. "They are really our eyes and ears in Iraq," he said. "Many places in Baghdad are just too dangerous for foreigners to go now, so we have Iraqi camera crews who very bravely go out ... without them we are blind, we cannot see what's going on." It sounds like McCarthy is *admitting* that network news crews have no idea what is going on outside their hotels and pressers - as has long been suspected. What reporting comes from American networks, it seems, the conclusion has been drawn first and then fact-finded later rather than the opposite.
It's a shame about these two men but ABC is essentially saying they have no coverage outside the Green Zone without depending on Iraqi journalists.

Imagine if the landings at Normandy were reported by a bunch of Fritz's & Adolph's who were working for Herr Goebbels?

Iwhy would the kill someone that is on their side? They should have captured them & made them convert to Islam - like Steve Centani of FOX. Guess what gang, he has never taken that back. So in reality he's a Muslim.
