The death brings to 66 the number of journalists and their aides killed in Iraq since the start of the invasion in 2003, said Reporters Without Borders, a Paris-based news media rights group. That surpasses the 63 journalists killed over 20 years of conflict in Vietnam, the group said.

Part I: Hearing What Eason Jordan Said

Thursday 24 February 2005

1. Yeah, this was in a Reuters report yesterday.

I think it's time for people to start seriously considering the possibility that the Bush Administration is deliberately targeting journalists that stray from the reservation.

3. Something tells me they weren't embedded.

Non-embedded reporters are fair game.
