http://www.michaelmoore.com/words/index.phpNEW YORK Andrew Marshall, Reuters' chief correspondent in Iraq, is seeking justice for three of his Iraqi news staffers and an NBC cameraman who claim they were severely abused earlier this year at a United States Army base outside of Fallujah.
Marshall, a soft-spoken, short-haired, mirror image of a military officer, lobbies the American media to cover the case (it was first probed by E&P Online in May) while pressuring the Pentagon to reopen its investigation of the incident that was eerily similar in some regards to the military treatment of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison.
. . .
The men claim that at Volturno, they were subjected to three days of mental and physical abuse. This included beatings, sexual humiliation, and sleep deprivation.No surprise here. The story is the same in Fallujah, where Naomi Klein has reported that journalists - as well as doctors and clerics - were targeted by the military in the first stages of the November raid.
More shoot-the-messenger behavior from our "moral values" crew in the White House.
