The US occupancy in Iraq is becoming more fucked up by the day..
U.S. Soldier Accused of Shooting Italian Journalist Giuliana Sgrena and Killing Nicola Calipari an Italian Intelligence Agent in Iraq. The most compelling part of this story is that US soldiers just opened fire on all occupants in the vehicle.


Mario Lozano defends his actions? He blames reporters for going to Iraq?

I guess this guy has never heard of a war correspondent? This ruthless act seems like another gruesome way of quelling reporters from going to Iraq to get the whole story. What does Mario expect us to do, watch Fox news?

"Jean L. Dominique, Haiti's most prominent journalist was slain, along with the groundskeeper of his radio station, Radio Haiti Internationale, on April 3, 2000 by unidentified gunmen. Mr. Dominique had dedicated a 40-year radio career to ending the Duvalier dictatorships and establishing democracy in Haiti. He survived years of threats and beatings at the hands of Duvalier’s Tonton Macoutes and was twice forced into exile, the last time when President Aristide was overthrown in 1991, only to die in a hail of gunfire as he arrived at his office for the morning news program.
“Jean Dominique pioneered a revolution in mass media communication in Haiti by embracing Haitian Creole as the medium of choice and giving voice to the poor and the oppressed,” said Jocelyn McCalla, NCHR Executive Director, in a statement released shortly after the assassination. “Many came forward to follow in his footsteps and champion basic liberties and freedom of the press. His death is a great loss at a critical time for the country.”
“The only weapon I have is my microphone and my unshakable faith as a militant for change, veritable change,” Dominique once said.
