So the toll rises.
Al Jazeera office destroyed by US Missile one journalist dead but this is not the first attack on them by US forces. Al jazeera suffered a similar fate when a bureau was destroyed in Kabul.
Both times the Pentagon said it as a mistake.
Reuters were also hit in a hotel known to contain foreign jornalists, we know none of the locals can afford to stay there. After watching the BBC footage you can hear no gunfire eminating from the building but the intention from the tank is plain to see. The results speak volumes.

War zones are dangerous but this attack has left me felling really pissed with the US military.
Or maybe the Pentagon does not want any independant covreage in Bahdad?
More and more the scene with Jack Nicholson in Easy rider where the guys are talking about freedm in the diner is coming to mind. More and more I see those red necks in US military uniforms.
You can have as much media freedom as you want, as long as it toes the offical line from the White House.
