What War Brings: imprisoning journalists without charges
by dancewater, dailykos.com, 16 July 2009
This blog post will cover some of the journalists who were detained by US authorities, that is, the US military. I am not sure that the word ‘detained’ is the best word. Since they are not charged, or granted the right to face those charges in a court of law, I think of them as “kidnapped”.
Right now, the US is still holding a Reuters journalist without charges in Iraq. He was at his home in Mahmoudiya, Iraq, when the US troops showed up and broke down the front door. They came with dogs, and frightened the hell out of the little children in the family.
