An event that is bound to pose a dilemma for the journalism elites took place in Iraq on Friday. A camera crew was arrested while filming the approach of a convoy of American troops in Mosul. A search of the car the cameramen were driving uncovered two IED initiating devices. The men also tested positive for explosives residue.
The camera crew claimed to have been hired to film coalition activities, but evidece suggests that it was going to detonate a roadside bomb and film the attack on American troops. Who hired them? al-Zarqawi? al-Jazeera? CNN? NBC? ABC?
Will Eason Jordan issued a statement about reporters targeting American soldiers? Will the Committee to Protect Journalists come to their aid?

Were they working for Air America Radio (Air Jizzeera)? Probably not, given AAR’s financial circumstances, unless AAR has found another charity to rip off.
Seriously, if there is sufficient evidence they should have a trial. If found guilty of plotting with the enemy, I would have them set up their gear about 20 feet from a real IED, then allow them to film it as it detonated. Of course it would kill all of them, but they will have gotten their wish-to film an IED.
Almost forgot: The IED would have been surrounded by vessels of pigs blood, spraying them with it so that these maggots would never achieve their promised heaven, instead being relegated to hell.
Meanwhile, as this is being investigated and these degenerates are being held pending charges, they should be placed in the personal custody of Pfc. Lynndie England

Yeah, she may inflict the cruel and inhumane torture of pointing at their ball bags.
Were they filming for cBS Morning News or the Decays Show or Good Morons America? or maybe cBS Sunday Morons:razz:
Well, the choice here is whether to allow the Iraqis to have them, or treat them in accordance with the Geneva Conventions on ununiformed combatants? Under the Geneva Conventions, they would be put before a tribunal to determine their status and executed if found to be ununiformed combatants.
Of course the Iraqi government might be somewhat more lenient with them. They probably still have that wood chipper there somewhere.
just shot the pigs to death and let the Army have some fun with the heads of 500,000,000 dead muslims. kill your enemies and win the war, don’t kill your enemies and you will die, its a real old idea and it still works for you or the enemy. pick one? life or death? you can’t have it all.
