AP Backs Photographer Held in Insurgency CasePosted on Nov 21, 2007Bilal Hussein, an AP photographer whom the U.S. military has accused of collaborating with insurgents, has been detained in Iraq for 19 months and may soon be tried by an Iraqi court. The Associated Press, apparently fed up with trying to reason with the military, has released the results of its own exhaustive investigation, which found the charges against Hussein to be “false” and “meaningless.”

Actually Americans can only stand the “EMBEDDED” journalists as they are way way more docile and cooperative and hence their high pays and tax-free deployments and the perks.
Report thisThe military cannot stand a free thinker or an independent thinker, like they are used to telling all the Americans what to think and what should be done now Similarly they’d like to tell foreign journalists as to what to think and what to report.
Also if you read the other US journalists testimonies you might notice that many quit because they hated being fed information and how the journalists were being told even how to present that information and IF you asked the wrong question you will not be allowed into the future press conferences at the Official location.
THE US press is way way Zionistic for any normal person it ensures the publication weird news or half the news instead of the truth and weirdly enough Americans cant even seem to digest the TRUTH easily

AP is a Republican organization. It’s another head-fake by Bush to demonstrate that he can arrest who he wants any time he wants and do with them as he pleases. Dissolve congress, let Bush rule!!!

It’s the only way they can the media in Iraq is to jail them. That’s done in most Arab countries. The way it’s done in America is to refuse to grant access to public officials. Also most American media are controlled by media conglomerates who are only concerned about ratings and dollars than the truth to what is really happening in Iraq. We have more TV news about Brittany Spears.Paris Hilton,and OJ than we do about the lies deaths and costs of this war. Our country is being deceived while our treasury is being looted by Halliburton,Blackwater, and political cronies of Bush and Cheney. Our economy will soon collapse from the housing crisis and the cost of this war while were all sitting in front of our TV watching the next OJ trial.

The U.S. does not want news photographers taking pictures of things that embarass it.

Let me see if I have it right.Blackwater can kill as many people as it wants and no one has jurisdiction over them and a case that seems to be fraught with inconsistencies is turned over to the Iraqi’s.I am sure he will get a fair trial in a country plagued by corruption at all levels.Why not turn Blackwater people accused of murdering Iraqi citizens over to the Iraqi judicial system?It is stories like this that cause me to think I am living in a parallel universe,
