Forumblog.org - The World Economic Forum Blog: Do US Troops Target Journalists in Iraq?

Davos, Switzerland from the WEF 2005

This fiery topic became a real nightmare today for the Chief News Executive of CNN at what was an initially very mild discussion at the World Economic Forum titled "Will Democracy Survive the Media?".

At a discussion moderated by David R. Gergen, the Director for Public Leadership, John F. Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University, the concept of truth, fairness, and balance in the news was weighed against corporate profit interest, the need for ratings, and how the media can affect democracy. The panel included Richard Sambrook, the worldwide director of BBC radio, U.S. Congressman Barney Frank, Abdullah Abdullah, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Afghanistan, and Eason Jordan, Chief News Executive of CNN. The audience was a mix of journalists, WEF attendees (many from Arab countries), and a US Senator from Connecticut, Chris Dodd.

During one of the discussions about the number of journalists killed in the Iraq War, Eason Jordan asserted that he knew of 12 journalists who had not only been killed by US troops in Iraq, but they had in fact been targeted. He repeated the assertion a few times, which seemed to win favor in parts of the audience (the anti-US crowd) and cause great strain on others.

Due to the nature of the forum, I was able to directly challenge Eason, asking if he had any objective and clear evidence to backup these claims, because if what he said was true, it would make Abu Ghraib look like a walk in the park. David Gergen was also clearly disturbed and shocked by the allegation that the U.S. would target journalists, foreign or U.S. He had always seen the U.S. military as the providers of safety and rescue for all reporters.

Eason seemed to backpedal quickly, but his initial statements were backed by other members of the audience (one in particular who represented a worldwide journalist group). The ensuing debate was (for lack of better words) a real "sh--storm". What intensified the problem was the fact that the session was a public forum being taped on camera, in front of an international crowd. The other looming shadow on what was going on was the presence of a U.S. Congressman and a U.S. Senator in the middle of some very serious accusations about the U.S. military.

To be fair (and balanced), Eason did backpedal and make a number of statements claiming that he really did not know if what he said was true, and that he did not himself believe it. But when pressed by others, he seemed to waver back and forth between what might have been his beliefs and the realization that he had created a kind of public mess. His statements, his reaction, and the reaction of all in attendance left me perplexed and confused. Many in the crowd, especially those from Arab nations, applauded what he said and called him a "very brave man" for speaking up against the U.S. in a public way amongst a crowd ready to hear anti-US sentiments. I am quite sure that somewhere in the Middle East, right now, his remarks are being printed up in Arab language newspapers as proof that the U.S. is an evil and corrupt nation. That is a real nightmare, because the Arab world is taking something said by a credible leader of the media (CNN!) as the gospel, or koranic truth. What is worse is that I am not really sure what Eason really meant to communicate to us, but I do know that he was quite passionate about it. Members of the audience took away what they wanted to hear, and now they will use it in every vile and twisted way imaginable.

To me, what was said can not be put back into the genie's bottle. So here is my request as a U.S. citizen, and really only a minor, minor player in the whole WEF scheme of things: Congressman Frank and Senator Dodd, you both seem like good and honest men, and Congressman Frank especially seems like someone with a bit of courage (I'm sure Senator Dodd is brave as well). Clear up this mess, use your power and authority as elected leaders, and make transparent what really happened. You must do this to respect the 12 journalists killed and let the world know how and why. Here is another challenge, and this one is for the CNN and the BBC: What the hell happened? Is Eason right or is he wrong? Good journalism calls for digging into and revealing all of the facts (or was everything that was said in the mild part of the discussion about fair coverage and seeking the truth just verbage?).

If what Eason originally said was true, exactly what happened and why needs to become known to the American public and world at large. If it is not, it is an example of how "news" is created by the heat of the moment, without any bearing to reality. If it is true, we need to know if it was official or if it was just some random disgruntled soldiers. The dark scenario, what the rest of the world would love to believe, is that the U.S. is sinister and evil and this is just another example of Darth Bush. Is this the same U.S. that I know and love, or was this just someone accidentally becoming swept up in the anti-U.S. feeling that is all pervasive in Davos (but they love us too, especially Clinton).

The cherry on the whipped cream of this cowpie sundae was poor Abdullah Abdullah, a shining new, fresh scrubbed member of America's grand experiment to export democracy to the Middle East. Here is someone who seemed to be idealistic, full of hope and vigor. What is he thinking about all of this? What kind of role model are we presenting to the fragile new democracies of Afghanistan and Iraq? What we can do, what we must do, is show them how democracy works, and how in an open and free country the truth will get out, and those responsible will be held accountable. The U.S. makes no claims about being perfect - we only make claims that we are open enough to correct our problems, and to admit freely to ourselves and the world if we are wrong.

As a last note, I think that this article is a good pointer to the future of the news: average people, freely saying what they want, as they saw it, for anyone to see. To me, that is freedom of the press.

Very good site, excellent content, I will recommend to my group of readers in the university, I found very interesting article on the internet, including this ... I will leave an input ----> The Antique Autos are considerate real treasures and many people pay a lot for them,? the quality of a good antique autos especially the classic ford cars represent many money, are a exception of the rule because can have higher prices in the market, the antique autos are a good option for some part of the society like the classic ford cars too, that meaning power, and position in a society that every day need it more of course, and the antique cars or classic ford cars like for example the Buick classic, the classic corvettes.

I don't think US troops target journalists in Iraq unless they have good reason to do so.

Currently, crude oil prices are about $90/barrell. This is very epensive in absolute and real terms. The reasons why crude oil is expensive are because OPEC has reduced production of processing/drilling the crude oil. Therefore, less supply is met with a (almost) constant demand which is reflected on higher costs. Also, the USD is getting weaker, so Americans perceive this price increase moreso than others (i.e. Europeans, Indians, South Americans). Also, because the taxes are much higher in European countries, and their prices are much more because of this, they have a "price cushion" on their gas.
For example (I'm generating numbers that are easy to work with, and not based on facts), both the USA and the UK buy gas at $1. The USA puts a 5% tariff on this, and sells the gas for $1.05. The UK buys the same gas at $1, but they place a $1 tax on this. Therefore, they sell it to the consumer at $2. However, one day, the prices of gas increased by 50%. The USA has to pay $1.55 for their gas, but the UK only has $2.50 for the same gas. The USA has seen a gas price increase of around 50%, while the UK has seen a price increase of 25%.

Q1: Why couldn't the oil-rich nations restrict the production of oil in the past so that the prices of crude oil increase?
It seems that not only did sales of crude oil increase now, but so did the oil profits. I am totally baffled why all the Arabic nations, Venezuela, Iran, and Russia never did this in the past. I'm not suggesting that we have another oil-shock, but they should, in much the same way our FRB adjusts interest rates, determine optimal production amounts for maximum earnings.
Q2: Regarding the taxation of gas prices, does the Internal Revenue Services set the taxes as a *percentage* of gas prices (i.e. 30% of the cost of gas), or as an absolute amount per unit of gas (i.e. taxes of $1.00 per gallon)?

Now we see the TARGET!!!

By Leonard Doyle in Washington
Published: 12 July 2007
It is an axiom of American political life that the actions of the US military are beyond criticism. Democrats and Republicans praise the men and women in uniform at every turn. Apart from the odd bad apple at Abu Ghraib, the US military in Iraq is deemed to be doing a heroic job under trying circumstances.

That perception will take a severe knock today with the publication in The Nation magazine of a series of in-depth interviews with 50 combat veterans of the Iraq war from across the US. In the interviews, veterans have described acts of violence in which US forces have abused or killed Iraqi men, women and children with impunity.

The report steers clear of widely reported atrocities, such as the massacre in Haditha in 2005, but instead unearths a pattern of human rights abuses. "It's not individual atrocity," Specialist Garett Reppenhagen, a sniper from the 263rd Armour Battalion, said. "It's the fact that the entire war is an atrocity."

A number of the troops have returned home bearing mental and physical scars from fighting a war in an environment in which the insurgents are supported by the population. Many of those interviewed have come to oppose the US military presence in Iraq, joining the groundswell of public opinion across the US that views the war as futile.

This view is echoed in Washington, where increasing numbers of Democrats and Republicans are openly calling for an early withdrawal from Iraq. And the Iraq quagmire has pushed President George Bush's poll ratings to an all-time low.

Journalists and human rights groups have published numerous reports drawing attention to the killing of Iraqi civilians by US forces. The Nation's investigation presents for the first time named military witnesses who back those assertions. Some participated themselves.

Through a combination of gung-ho recklessness and criminal behaviour born of panic, a narrative emerges of an army that frequently commits acts of cold-blooded violence. A number of interviewees revealed that the military will attempt to frame innocent bystanders as insurgents, often after panicked American troops have fired into groups of unarmed Iraqis. The veterans said the troops involved would round up any survivors and accuse them of being in the resistance while planting Kalashnikov AK47 rifles beside corpses to make it appear that they had died in combat.

"It would always be an AK because they have so many of these lying around," said Joe Hatcher, 26, a scout with the 4th Calvary Regiment. He revealed the army also planted 9mm handguns and shovels to make it look like the civilians were shot while digging a hole for a roadside bomb.

"Every good cop carries a throwaway," Hatcher said of weapons planted on innocent victims in incidents that occurred while he was stationed between Tikrit and Samarra, from February 2004 to March 2005. Any survivors were sent to jail for interrogation.

There were also deaths caused by the reckless behaviour of military convoys. Sgt Kelly Dougherty of the Colorado National Guard described a hit-and-run in which a military convoy ran over a 10-year-old boy and his three donkeys, killing them all. "Judging by the skid marks, they hardly even slowed down. But, I mean... your order is that you never stop."

The worst abuses seem to have been during raids on private homes when soldiers were hunting insurgents. Thousands of such raids have taken place, usually at dead of night. The veterans point out that most are futile and serve only to terrify the civilians, while generating sympathy for the resistance.

Sgt John Bruhns, 29, of the 3rd Brigade, 1st Armoured Division, described a typical raid. "You want to catch them off guard," he explained. "You want to catch them in their sleep ... You grab the man of the house. You rip him out of bed in front of his wife. You put him up against the wall... Then you go into a room and you tear the room to shreds. You'll ask 'Do you have any weapons? Do you have any anti-US propaganda?'

"Normally they'll say no, because that's normally the truth," Sgt Bruhns said. "So you'll take his sofa cushions and dump them. You'll open up his closet and you'll throw all the clothes on the floor and basically leave his house looking like a hurricane just hit it." And at the end, if the soldiers don't find anything, they depart with a "Sorry to disturb you. Have a nice evening".

Sgt Dougherty described her squad leader shooting an Iraqi civilian in the back in 2003. "The mentality of my squad leader was like, 'Oh, we have to kill them over here so I don't have to kill them back in Colorado'," she said. "He just seemed to view every Iraqi as a potential terrorist."

'It would always happen. We always got the wrong house...'

"People would make jokes about it, even before we'd go into a raid, like, 'Oh fuck, we're gonna get the wrong house'. Cause it would always happen. We always got the wrong house."

Sergeant Jesus Bocanegra, 25, of Weslaco, Texas 4th Infantry Division. In Tikrit on year-long tour that began in March 2003

"I had to go tell this woman that her husband was actually dead. We gave her money, we gave her, like, 10 crates of water, we gave the kids, I remember, maybe it was soccer balls and toys. We just didn't really know what else to do."

Lieutenant Jonathan Morgenstein, 35, of Arlington, Virginia, Marine Corps civil affairs unit. In Ramadi from August 2004 to March 2005

"We were approaching this one house... and we're approaching, and they had a family dog. And it was barking ferociously, cause it's doing its job. And my squad leader, just out of nowhere, just shoots it... So I see this dog - I'm a huge animal lover... this dog has, like, these eyes on it and he's running around spraying blood all over the place. And like, you know, what the hell is going on? The family is sitting right there, with three little children and a mom and a dad, horrified. And I'm at a loss for words."

Specialist Philip Chrystal, 23, of Reno, 3rd Battalion, 116th Cavalry Brigade. In Kirkuk and Hawija on 11-month tour beginning November 2004

"I'll tell you the point where I really turned... [there was] this little, you know, pudgy little two-year-old child with the cute little pudgy legs and she has a bullet through her leg... An IED [improvised explosive device] went off, the gun-happy soldiers just started shooting anywhere and the baby got hit. And this baby looked at me... like asking me why. You know, 'Why do I have a bullet in my leg?'... I was just like, 'This is, this is it. This is ridiculous'."

Specialist Michael Harmon, 24, of Brooklyn, 167th Armour Regiment, 4th Infantry Division. In Al-Rashidiya on 13-month tour beginning in April 2003

"I open a bag and I'm trying to get bandages out and the guys in the guard tower are yelling at me, 'Get that fuck haji out of here,'... our doctor rolls up in an ambulance and from 30 to 40 meters away looks out and says, shakes his head and says, 'You know, he looks fine, he's gonna be all right,' and walks back... kind of like, 'Get your ass over here and drive me back up to the clinic'. So I'm standing there, and the whole time both this doctor and the guards are yelling at me, you know, to get rid of this guy."

Specialist Patrick Resta, 29, from Philadelphia, 252nd Armour, 1st Infantry Division. In Jalula for nine months beginning March 2004

'Every person opened fire on this kid, using the biggest weapons we could find...'

"Here's some guy, some 14-year-old kid with an AK47, decides he's going to start shooting at this convoy. It was the most obscene thing you've ever seen. Every person got out and opened fire on this kid. Using the biggest weapons we could find, we ripped him to shreds..."

Sergeant Patrick Campbell, 29, of Camarillo, California, 256th Infantry Brigade. In Abu Gharth for 11 months beginning November 2004

"Cover your own butt was the first rule of engagement. Someone could look at me the wrong way and I could claim my safety was in threat."

Lieutenant Brady Van Engelen, 26, of Washington DC, 1st Armoured Division. Eight-month tour of Baghdad beginning Sept 2003

"I guess while I was there, the general attitude was, 'A dead Iraqi is just another dead Iraqi... You know, so what?'... [Only when we got home] in... meeting other veterans, it seems like the guilt really takes place, takes root, then."

Specialist Jeff Englehart, 26, of Grand Junction, Colorado, 3rd Brigade, 1st Infantry. In Baquba for a year beginning February 2004

"[The photo] was very graphic... They open the body bags of these prisoners that were shot in the head and [one soldier has] got a spoon. He's reaching in to scoop out some of his brain, looking at the camera and smiling."

Specialist Aidan Delgado, 25, of Sarasota, Florida, 320th Military Police Company. Deployed to Talil air base for one year beginning April 2003

"The car was approaching what was in my opinion a very poorly marked checkpoint... and probably didn't even see the soldiers... The guys got spooked and decided it was a possible threat, so they shot up the car. And they [the bodies] literally sat in the car for the next three days while we drove by them.

Sergeant Dustin Flatt, 33, of Denver, 18th Infantry Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. One-year from February 2004

"The frustration that resulted from our inability to get back at those who were attacking us led to tactics that seemed designed simply to punish the local population..."

Sergeant Camilo Mejía, 31, from Miami, National Guardsman, 1-124 Infantry Battalion, 53rd Infantry Brigade. Six-month tour beginning April 2003

"I just remember thinking, 'I just brought terror to someone under the American flag'."

Sergeant Timothy John Westphal, 31, of Denver, 18th Infantry Brigade, 1st Infantry Division. In Tikrit on year-long tour beginning February 2004

"A lot of guys really supported that whole concept that if they don't speak English and they have darker skin, they're not as human as us, so we can do what we want."

Specialist Josh Middleton, 23, of New York City, 2nd Battalion, 82nd Airborne Division. Four-month tour in Baghdad and Mosul beginning December 2004

"I felt like there was this enormous reduction in my compassion for people. The only thing that wound up mattering is myself and the guys that I was with, and everybody else be damned."

Sergeant Ben Flanders, 28, National Guardsman from Concord, New Hampshire, 172nd Mountain Infantry. In Balad for 11 months beginning March 2004

Penetrating Broadcast Journalism and the Mass Media

New Look at Broadcast News and the News Documentary

As Fred W. Friendly, pioneer News Executive, has said,
“What we don’t know can kill us.”

Now in print— A Red in the House: The Unauthorized Memoir of S.E. Fleischman

Experience the glory days of the TV news docu-mentary as recollected by an award-winning writer-producer-director…

During my thirty years in Network News, my colleagues were the pioneers in broadcast journalism—Walter Cronkite, Fred W. Friendly, Edward R. Murrow, Charles Kuralt, Harry Reasoner, Howard K. Smith, Eric Sevareid—the trailblazing reporters and correspondents who emerged from World War II and created television news.
—Stephen Fleischman

A Red in the House takes you directly into the battlegrounds of the exploding “news business” —a seminal period in the evolution of broadcast journalism.
A Red in the House is replete with anecdotes and sidebar stories depicting the evolving establishment media. How five corporate media giants gained control of what Americans see, hear and read makes this book required reading.

Steve Fleischman’s vivid anecdotes and improbable exploits drew me through the fasci-nating tale of his life, set in a formative era of television news.
— Neal Koch
Independent Investigative Journalist

Steve Fleischman takes personal history to a new level of daring, filled with revelations that once were too dangerous to publish.
— Eric Bercovici
Screenwriter, Producer of “Shogun”, the NBC miniseries

Steve Fleischman’s account of how he escaped the witch-hunters and went on to have a long career in network news proves than no matter how repressive the times, dissenting views can never be completely stamped out.

The American Reporter

PS: See Chapter 24 – excerpt Below

Your Facts are Right but I Don’t Like the Facts You Used

(end of chapter)
THE AGONY OF VIETNAM was broadcast over the ABC Television Network on Wednesday, August 25th, 1965, 8:30—9:30 PM, EDT, unchanged.
It aired just once and then went into a deep freeze. In the dog days of late August, its ratings were low. Not too many people had seen it. Except for one small newspaper ad, there was no promotion by the Network.
After several weeks, there was a delayed reaction—ABC was deluged by a clamor for prints of the show from around the country. Anti-war groups had gotten wind of it. Their requests were unanswered or rejected.
There were no prints to be had. None in the film library, none in the Network ar-chives where old shows go to die. Test prints at the lab had disappeared. Even work prints from my cutting room had disappeared. I found out later that someone from Jack Bush’s office had come around to our cutting room and Ed Shea gave him whatever work material he had.
But there was a slip-up…
I had taken the first un-timed answer print home with me one night after working late at the lab. It was wholly accidental. It happened because it was too
late to go back to the office that night. So it seems I had the only extent copy of
the show.
Several weeks later, someone at the American Friends Service Committee at Haverford College called me to see if I could provide him with a print of the show.
I was a graduate of Haverford College, a Quaker institution. I knew the American Friends Service Committee to be a pacifist organization in line with Quaker religious beliefs. It was an upstanding, pro-American, non-Communist organization. They wanted to use a print of the show, I was told, in their campaign
against the Vietnam War.
How could I deny them? I gave the young man who came up from Haverford my badly timed print.
Apparently, a number of dupes were struck from that print and showed up at screenings around the country. That infuriated the ABC legal department.
When a News Department lawyer interrogated me about the release of that print, my answer was, “What? Who? Me?”

Chief News Executive of CNN, Eason Jordan, has been fired by CNN since. They killed the messenger to get rid of the message.

"David Gergen ... had always seen the U.S. military as the providers of safety and rescue for all reporters."

He never looked into the details of the U.S. military records of human rights and international law violations, of any army in action, as a matter of fact. Otherwise he would not entrust them with his life, at least not if he intended to criticise them.

“I am quite sure that ... remarks are being printed up ... as proof that the U.S. is an evil and corrupt nation. That is a real nightmare, because the Arab world is taking something said by a credible leader of the media (CNN!) as the gospel...”

Read “reporters sans frontières” (reportes without borders): At the beginning of the war they already requested investigations into the death of non-embedded journalists killed by “friendly fire”. There have been other cases, subsequently, where investigations were asked for. These investigations have never taken place. Or the U.S. army came up with a lame excuse, e.g. in the cases of the bombing of the Al-Jazeera headquarter in Baghdad or the killing of Taras Protsyuk and Jose Couso in the Palestine Hotel by a US tank.

But the author is misleading the public and undervalue the “Arab world”, as he likes to call it, with his assertions quoted above. The “Arab world” and the world indeed can very well make the distinction between the U.S.A. as a whole and its present government and army. Nobody would expect positive outcomes of an aggressive war and a despotic regime, let alone democracy. And the world is clearly seeing the war in Iraq as such, and even in the U.S.A. parallels between your present government and the Nazi regime are drawn. Even if a majority in the U.S.A. does not dare criticise this regime, or is not shrewd enough to identify it as such, a despotic regime, and still approves its actions, the U.S.A. must not believe the rest of the world is duped into believing that the they are evil as a nation. That is why we still hope that you, the nation, are still able to overcome the present regime without us all being drawn into a World War.

The problem with much of the buzz on this story in the US is that few seem to be concerned about the facts behind the story.

Some were happy that they got a big CNN scalp, others were concerned about it being anti-american, etc.

The uninvestigated case of José Couto, who was killed when a US tank fired on the Palestine Hotel, which is where most of the foreign press was holed up, suggests that there may be some facts behind this hullabaloo!

The important word here is 'uninvestigated' and, until this issue becomes investigated, the suspicion remains.

Posted by: Kadoom | February 15, 2005 at 03:17 PM

I have for a number of years been attempting to get a story published that none of the networks will touch. Please look at my website etcenters.org to read our case history. The story is about the lack of childcare in America for 5-12 year old children.
CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER SAFE ALONE ON THE STREETS OF AMERICA.
Read the letters from Bill and Hilary on the left all the way to John Ascroft on the right, Oprah, John Mitchell, Chris Cox, Diane Feinstien, etc.

I need help in telling my story and call upon you to help bring attention to this matter.

I don't think that Eason Jordon should have resigned his post at CNN. There has been a lot of stories about Journalists being killed by American forces (see attached essay by Robert Fisk).

Someone should look into this instead of disregarding it.

Does The US Military Want To Kill Journalists

by Robert Fisk; The Independent; April 09, 2003

First the Americans killed the correspondent of al-Jazeera yesterday and wounded his cameraman. Then, within four hours, they attacked the Reuters television bureau in Baghdad, killing one of its cameramen and a cameraman for Spain's Tele 5 channel and wounding four other members of the Reuters staff.

Was it possible to believe this was an accident? Or was it possible that the right word for these killings – the first with a jet aircraft, the second with an M1A1 Abrams tank – was murder? These were not, of course, the first journalists to die in the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq. Terry Lloyd of ITV was shot dead by American troops in southern Iraq, who apparently mistook his car for an Iraqi vehicle. His crew are still missing. Michael Kelly of The Washington Post tragically drowned in a canal. Two journalists have died in Kurdistan. Two journalists – a German and a Spaniard – were killed on Monday night at a US base in Baghdad, with two Americans, when an Iraqi missile exploded amid them.

And we should not forget the Iraqi civilians who are being killed and maimed by the hundred and who – unlike their journalist guests – cannot leave the war and fly home. So the facts of yesterday should speak for themselves. Unfortunately for the Americans, they make it look very like murder.

The US jet turned to rocket al-Jazeera's office on the banks of the Tigris at 7.45am local time yesterday. The television station's chief correspondent in Baghdad, Tariq Ayoub, a Jordanian-Palestinian, was on the roof with his second cameraman, an Iraqi called Zuheir, reporting a pitched battle near the bureau between American and Iraqi troops. Mr Ayoub's colleague Maher Abdullah recalled afterwards that both men saw the plane fire the rocket as it swooped toward their building, which is close to the Jumhuriya Bridge upon which two American tanks had just appeared.

"On the screen, there was this battle and we could see bullets flying and then we heard the aircraft," Mr Abdullah said.

"The plane was flying so low that those of us downstairs thought it would land on the roof – that's how close it was. We actually heard the rocket being launched. It was a direct hit – the missile actually exploded against our electrical generator. Tariq died almost at once. Zuheir was injured."

Now for America's problems in explaining this little saga. Back in 2001, the United States fired a cruise missile at al-Jazeera's office in Kabul – from which tapes of Osama bin Laden had been broadcast around the world. No explanation was ever given for this extraordinary attack on the night before the city's "liberation"; the Kabul correspondent, Taiseer Alouni, was unhurt. By the strange coincidence of journalism, Mr Alouni was in the Baghdad office yesterday to endure the USAF's second attack on al-Jazeera.

Far more disturbing, however, is the fact that the al-Jazeera network – the freest Arab television station, which has incurred the fury of both the Americans and the Iraqi authorities for its live coverage of the war – gave the Pentagon the co-ordinates of its Baghdad office two months ago and received assurances that the bureau would not be attacked.

Then on Monday, the US State Department's spokesman in Doha, an Arab-American called Nabil Khouri, visited al-Jazeera's offices in the city and, according to a source within the Qatari satellite channel, repeated the Pentagon's assurances. Within 24 hours, the Americans had fired their missile into the Baghdad office.

The next assault, on Reuters, came just before midday when an Abrams tank on the Jamhuriya Bridge suddenly pointed its gun barrel towards the Palestine Hotel where more than 200 foreign journalists are staying to cover the war from the Iraqi side. Sky Television's David Chater noticed the barrel moving. The French television channel France 3 had a crew in a neighbouring room and videotaped the tank on the bridge. The tape shows a bubble of fire emerging from the barrel, the sound of a detonation and then pieces of paintwork falling past the camera as it vibrates with the impact.

In the Reuters bureau on the 15th floor, the shell exploded amid the staff. It mortally wounded a Ukrainian cameraman, Taras Protsyuk, who was also filming the tanks, and seriously wounded another member of the staff, Paul Pasquale from Britain, and two other journalists, including Reuters' Lebanese-Palestinian reporter Samia Nakhoul. On the next floor, Tele 5's cameraman Jose Couso was badly hurt. Mr Protsyuk died shortly afterwards. His camera and its tripod were left in the office, which was swamped with the crew's blood. Mr Couso had a leg amputated but he died half an hour after the operation.

The Americans responded with what all the evidence proves to be a straightforward lie. General Buford Blount of the US 3rd Infantry Division – whose tanks were on the bridge – announced that his vehicles had come under rocket and rifle fire from snipers in the Palestine Hotel, that his tank had fired a single round at the hotel and that the gunfire had then ceased. The general's statement, however, was untrue.

I was driving on a road between the tanks and the hotel at the moment the shell was fired – and heard no shooting. The French videotape of the attack runs for more than four minutes and records absolute silence before the tank's armament is fired. And there were no snipers in the building. Indeed, the dozens of journalists and crews living there – myself included – have watched like hawks to make sure that no armed men should ever use the hotel as an assault point.

This is, one should add, the same General Blount who boasted just over a month ago that his crews would be using depleted uranium munitions – the kind many believe to be responsible for an explosion of cancers after the 1991 Gulf War – in their tanks. For General Blount to suggest, as he clearly does, that the Reuters camera crew was in some way involved in shooting at Americans merely turns a meretricious statement into a libellous one.

Again, we should remember that three dead and five wounded journalists do not constitute a massacre – let alone the equivalence of the hundreds of civilians being maimed by the invasion force. And it is a truth that needs to be remembered that the Iraqi regime has killed a few journalists of its own over the years, with tens of thousands of its own people. But something very dangerous appeared to be getting loose yesterday. General Blount's explanation was the kind employed by the Israelis after they have killed the innocent. Is there therefore some message that we reporters are supposed to learn from all this? Is there some element in the American military that has come to hate the press and wants to take out journalists based in Baghdad, to hurt those whom our Home Secretary, David Blunkett, has maliciously claimed to be working "behind enemy lines". Could it be that this claim – that international correspondents are in effect collaborating with Mr Blunkett's enemy (most Britons having never supported this war in the first place) – is turning into some kind of a death sentence?

I knew Mr Ayoub. I have broadcast during the war from the rooftop on which he died. I told him then how easy a target his Baghdad office would make if the Americans wanted to destroy its coverage – seen across the Arab world – of civilian victims of the bombing. Mr Protsyuk of Reuters often shared the Palestine Hotel's elevator with me. Samia Nakhoul, who is 42, has been a friend and colleague since the 1975-90 Lebanese civil war. She is married to the Financial Times correspondent David Gardner.

Yesterday afternoon, she lay covered in blood in a Baghdad hospital. And General Blount dared to imply that this innocent woman and her brave colleagues were snipers. What, I wonder, does this tell us about the war in Iraq?

Reporters who work, or worked, in Baghdad know for a fact (I wouldn't deliberate on this here) that U.S. troops make no distinction between insurgents and cameramen (photographers).

The explanation is that insurgents shoot the aftermath of explosions and other terrorist actions to study the tactics employed by the troops in their aftermath.

And even 'genuine' videographers harm the troops' image and reveal their tactics, which makes them as bad as insurgents.

I am amazed with the swift unfolding of this major news event. As a student of Media at the New School University and Rony Abovitz's sister this story has been of particular interest to me. Firstly, I am impressed (but not surprised) with Rony's courage to question Jordan during the panel and then of his timely and lucid accounting of the event on the forum's blog. I do not know very many people who could question such authority (a CNN exec) while in the company of other media bigwigs and powerful people from around the globe. Rony was invited to this event to accept an award for outstanding work in his field of bio-medical engineering, not to be a media watchdog.

Speaking with Rony throughout this ordeal I realize that he was the perfect person to reveal the holes that have become our main source of media in this country. Rony Abovitz is perceptive, well-read, and forthright. He is unafraid, persistent, and level-headed. He is like all of us and he reminds us all that we can demand and expect the truth from our media sources. He also does not wait for other people to do the job for him. When Rony felt that Eason Jordan's comments were incorrect and possibly slanderous to the U.S., he called him out on them right then and there. When he got back to his hotel and was still thinking about it, he got onto the computer and wrote up an entry requesting the truth. When he returned back to the U.S. he continued to write about the incident, give interviews with anyone who asked him to, and press on to find the true story. Rony has remained as firm as possible on revealing the truth about the American soldiers that supposedly targeted journalists in Iraq. As far as I am concerned, he is the only person who has not cowered away from this story and I am glad to have someone like him on our side.

Aw come on Cherry Pie. You remind me of Goebbles. Of course our troops target journalist. Our snipers in Faluja targeted unarmed civilians, women and children, some only infants.
How can I be so sure? As Rap Brown said: "Violence is as American as Mom and cherry pie."
What am I basing my opinion on. Seven years as a refugee advisor in Vietnam's Mekong Delta. I witnessed all sorts of genocide on a regular basis. You name it I saw it. However, it was the photos that the GI's carried about in their wallets. Atrocities that they'd committed and posed for. Photos that they were so proud of. They were a sign of manhood. They were so anxious to share them with me. Some had never even been in combat. One GI worked in the kitchen ordering around a crew of moma-sons. He found some bodies stacked behind a connex box. He got a clever and hacked off a couple of heads and had his mate take his picture holding the heads by their. He'd jammed lit cigarette in their mouths.

Don't tell me about our fine upstanding GI's. I don't buy it. Oh yes, as for freedom, have you got around to reading Patriot Acts I & II???

Munir,

If I were presented with solid proof of widespread systematic and leadership sponsored assassinations of journalists by the U.S. military, I would resign my position in it immediately. Most of the servicepeople I know would never condone or support such activities.

Anything is possible but I am strongly dubious that the U.S. military is purposely targeting journalists for assassination.

This is the same Joran who decided several years ago that CNN should sit on its story of torture in Iraq under Sadaam for fear of being asked to close their Bagdad bureau.

Posted by: Mindermast | February 09, 2005 at 03:21 AM

A friend of mine at the BBC told me that this is what is happening, that many colleagues at Sky, ITN, ITV have all reported being shot at whilst in Iraq, let alone the many deaths apparent at least from suspicious sources.

It could be false flag, it culd be a political exercise, it could be putting the "frighteners" on journalists to stay away from sensitive areas, however, like the albatross, I believe killing or attacking journalists is bad luck for the aggressor in that they do tend to unite and a hostile media is hard to fight.

I have no doubt that journalist are targeted. Given the natural right wing slat of most soldiers and the right wing rant about the liberal MSM, journalists are appearing at MASH units with American bullets in them. The same sort of things has been happening to officers who were considered too risky to follow.

Claiming 12 reporters deliberately targeted is too is high. Claiming zero is too low.

The details, where known, are on the Reporters Without Borders website (http://www.rsf.org/special_iraq_en.php3) but I'll give the summaries here:

Reporters killed more or less impersonally by Iraqi area-effect weapons: 5

Reporters killed more or less deliberately by the Iraqi resistance: 10

Reporters killed more or less impersonally by American area-effect weapons: 2

Terry Lloyd, British, ITV News
Mazen al-Tomaizi, Palestinian, Al-Arabiya

Reporters killed more or less deliberately by Amercan troops: 5

Tarek Ayoub, Jordanian, Al Jazeera
(killed in the bombing of Al Jazeera's office, Baghdad, April 8, 2003)

Mazen Dana, Palestinian, Reuters

(shot in a marked "TV" car at a checkpoint, Baghdad, Mar. 18, 2004)

Dhia Najim, Iraqi, Reuters
(shot by a sniper, Ramadi, Nov. 1, 2004)

Reporters killed by American troops under circumstances that defy explanation: 2

CNN is denying this exchange happened this way. I emailed them and they replied:

"Many blogs have taken Mr. Jordan's remarks out of context. Eason Jordan does not believe the U.S. military is trying to kill journalists. Mr. Jordan simply pointed out the facts: While the majority of journalists killed in Iraq have been slain at the hands of insurgents, the Pentagon has also noted that the U.S. military on occasion has killed people who turned out to be journalists. The Pentagon has apologized for those actions.

Mr. Jordan was responding to an assertion by Cong. Frank that all 63 journalist victims had been the result of "collateral damage."

Please provide the videotape or where we can see it and judge the facts for ourselves.

For the record I believe CNN is in CYA mode. This isn't the first time they have made this kind of claim.

If Eason Jordan has information on the 12 he owes it to the rest of us journalists to come forward with the evidence -- using it as great speech material is the same as abetting the crime by protecting the criminals. Name the journalists that were murdered, identify the murderers.

I note that 'Munir' above closes with "keep the interesting posts coming." THAT is the reaction to the news that 12 U.S. journalists were murdered? Keep up the great stories????

Jordan is either aiding the criminals by covering up their identities or he is not telling the truth. He owes us all more than this.

This is how it works ...

Eason Jordan throws a load of anti-American bullshit out there, and hope it sticks. Next, the Arab media (who have already proven beyond any doubt that "evidence" and reality is simply not important to them) now jumps on Eason Jordan's claims as "proof" that US forces are targeting journalists. It doesn't matter if he pulled this thing out of his ass. No, what matters is simply that he said it. That's all the proof the Arab media needs.

As a result, more Arabs will be inflamed and motivated to blow up Americans or Iraqis over Jordan's lie. The one with blood on his hands here is Jordan, not the American troops.

I am a US soldier, and this smacks of arrogance. Truth be told, journalists aren't important enough for me to waste my time or energy on.

Posted by: JoeS | February 02, 2005 at 02:48 AM

We Americans delude ourselves when we think that only the other guy's troops kill journalists or torture prisoners.

Oh for God's sake, get a grip. That's quite a leap from Abu Ghraib to murdering journalists. Unless you have evidence to backup your claims of murder, then you're the one that's "deluded".

Besides, there has also been suggestions that journalists have conspired with insurgents. Do we now assume those to be true, given the "standard" of evidence being accepted here? Tell you what. Until I see evidence of journalists conspiring with terrorists I will give the journalists the benefit of the doubt. I suggest you do the same.

Posted by: Trippin | February 02, 2005 at 02:42 AM

You should have asked Eason Jordan about the op-ed he wrote where he admitted he kissed Saddam's behind before the war in order to keep CNN's bureau. Talk about hypocrisy.

Egad! This is an example of 'reponsible' media at a world conference? It sounds more like Al-Jazeera, for pity's sake!

Way to recapture the trust of the American people, Jordan.

I swear - these anti American-power Liberals and anti Bush people are just like an annoying child stuck at the "You!" "No, you INFINITY!" end of a losing, nonsensical argument over who has the most cooties.

Did absolutely NONE of these people have parents who read them the story of "The Little Boy Who Cried Wolf"?

Hey, not a bad idea. There have been some left wing journalists working for the terrorists, aiding and abetting the murder of US Soldiers. I see no problem if the US snipers take them out.

NonAmerican journalists and many American journalists as well assume the worst of us. If they chose to take the part of the Baathists and Al kayda, and say, "embed" themselves among them, they will be killed.

Posted by: John Schuh | February 01, 2005 at 11:40 PM

He clearly thought he could get away with such an outrageous statement; after all, as a senior member of the MSM and a person who admitted to covering up routine atrocities in Iraq for many years, he and others of his ilk have been getting away with such things for a very long time. When he said it, Jordan never imagined he would be questioned at all on it, he expected it to be glossed over, as are the details of seemingly all the anti-US accusations.

The Forumblog.org post on the question: Do US Troops Target Journalists in Iraq? did a good job of conveying the reactions of some Americans attending the forum where the question was raised and discussed.

Eason Jordan's statement should not surprise anyone since the question of whether U.S. troops in Iraq deliberately targeted journalists has been raised in the U.S. and abroad. I put it, or a variation of it, in Google and came up with many instances where the question was raised. We Americans delude ourselves when we think that only the other guy's troops kill journalists or torture prisoners. When we are hit with the evidence, we say the killings and espisodes of torture must have been committed by rogue elements among us. Unfortunately, that's not the way many non-Americans see it.

Finally keep the interesting posts coming.
