The body of Reuters cameraman Mazen Dana, shot dead by US troops in Iraq, has been buried in the West Bank city of Hebron.

About 3,000 mourners - some chanting anti-American slogans - accompanied the acclaimed Palestinian filmmaker's body through the streets.

He was shot dead in broad daylight outside Abu Ghraib prison, where six Iraqis had been killed in a mortar attack on Saturday.

He had permission to film from US soldiers near the prison shortly before the incident but shots were later fired from a US tank, and the cameraman was fatally hit in the chest.

1. relatively little pundit pause....

over this one. I did see Tucker Carlson note it
on Tweety's show yesterday...Tucker tried to soften
it by saying the guy was too far away when in fact
the cameraman and other reporters had been gathered more closely
in for half an hour and the soldiers knew they were
press. One soldier just snapped and shot him.

2. will anyone pay

for this man's death? For the needless deaths of so many non-combatants?

An inquest, even? A lousy reprimand?

What's the cost/benefit for a jittery soldier when he takes an innocent life?
