Just damn. A cameraman looks an awful lot like a guy holding an anti-tank weapon.

Hmmm... I think a Commie Reuters cameraman is worth a
hundred points. The troopie who greased him should get
a private pat on the back, a leave for R&R, ...

"The tanks came, he was taking pictures and they just started shooting," Nadim said, shaking with sobs. "It was his last day here. I came to replace him. What am I supposed to tell his wife?"Let's see. You snuck up on the soldiers, and didn't properly identify yourselves?

Why can't these Roto-Reuters people ever follow the rules?

Isn't it amazing how they left the words "US soldiers
allegedly shot a Reuters camera man" out of their report?
Had a terrorist exploded a nuclear device at an NFL game, Reuters would have said an "alleged" terrorist. Hypocrites.

I'm sorry he's dead, but I can't get too worked up about it.
Don't go pointing anything at soldiers in a combat zone. It is not safe to do so.

"U.S. soldiers shoot, kill Reuters cameraman.."
Who pointed a RPG looking camera at the soldiers who have been under attack for months with RPG's.
I guess this Darwin award removed from the gene pool idiot, and others like him should paint cameras blaze orange to show they are not real RPG's.
Or maybe, duh, he had a short memory of the El Rasheed hotel twerp cameraman pointing rocket looking thingys at a US tank under enemy fire!!!
Just stop people, no pointing of weapons like equipment at soldiers hotly engaged in live fire combat operations.
If you can't learn this basic precept, then STFU when some of you die from a terminal overdose of stupid.

BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. soldiers shot and killed a Reuters television cameraman outside a prison west of Baghdad on Sunday, a day after an overnight mortar attack there left six Iraqi prisoners dead and nearly 60 wounded.
Mazen Dana, 41, a Palestinian who worked for the British news agency for more than a decade, was shot while filming a convoy on the road outside the U.S.-run Abu Ghraib prison, where several hundred criminals and anti-U.S. guerrillas are being held.
As highlighted in bold, we see how Reuters is a Islamazi run propoganda tool, and just why it's agenda is pro-terrorist and anti-Western/anti-Israel!
All in all, a Pali-scumbag who worked for Reuters was ventilated...sounds like a good start to me!

Dana's colleagues said he did nothing wrong.What?? As though this were an execution??
Assume the Pali's learned a lesson here....Do NOT aim you rocket launcher camera at a convoy while dressed as a rebel.

Good shot ... try for the Reuters scribe next!

I feel bad for the guy, but I hate Reuters.
I'm conflicted.

Hey, a Reuters guy is almost a freebe. You know Reuters can't be any more anti-American after the the accident than they were before. And, with a Reuters guy out of the picture, the coverage, by definition, has to, on average, improve.
Proof? As I recall, the Reuters covergae of the anniversary of the dramitic August peace overtures (Hiroshima & Nagasaki) to bring the war in the Pacific to an end were anti-American and questioned our decision to bring instant peace to a troubled land.

Funny thing is, there are plenty of new high definition mini-cams out there that can record broadcast quality video, but the news journos refuse to use them because they don't look right. This is a clear case where looking "chic" killed him.

After all of the anti-American spin exhibited by Reuters post 9-11-01, could this be a case of "what goes around, comes around"? However, I will not lose any sleep over this "unfortunate" news, especially after Reuters accused the U.S. of "staging and exaggerating" the Jessica Lynch rescue and refers to terrorists as "freedom fighters".
To: Destro
What?? They killed a Reuters guy? Just one??!!? Man the military just isn't trying hard enuff.
