Sgrena... and Eason Jordan
On the issue of Italian journalist Sgrena and her claim she may have been targeted by by the American military, Jill at Brilliant at Breakfast asks "When does Eason Jordan get his job back?"
My answer: Eason Jordan got what he deserved... his head served up on a platter for his role in helping to cultivate the fascist hordes.
Oh. That was a rhetorical question.
As for Ms. Sgrena, we'll never know whether or not she was targeted by U.S. forces. We've done - and continue to do - worse things in Iraq, but the same halfwits who think torture is a-okay and the GOP represents "morals" will only carry on with their delusional liberation scenario... which is propped up daily by none other than countless Eason Jordan's who make up the "news" business.

"I now live with no more certainties. I find myself deeply weak. I failed in my belief. I had always claimed there was need to go tell about that dirty war. And I had to decide whether to stay in the hotel or going out and chance being abducted because of my work. "We don't want anyone any more," the abductors told me. But I wanted to tell about the bloodbath in Falluja through the refugees' tales. And that morning the refugees and some of their "leaders" didn't listen to me. I had in front of me the evidence of what the Iraqi society has become with the war and they threw their truth in my face: "We don't want anyone. Why don't you stay home? What such interview can be useful for?". The worst collateral damage, the war killing communication, was falling on me. On me, who had risked it all, challenging the Italian government that didn't want reporters gong to Iraq, and the Americans who don't want our work that gives witness to what that country has really turned into with the war, despite what they call elections. Now I wonder. Is their refusal a failure?"
