Has Linda Foley forgotten that Daniel Pearl was a reporter?

We are truly blessed with some extremely intelligent readers who leave comments that need to be showcased. I plan to do more of this in the days that come.

This comment was left by Greg in response to our post:

Linda Foley-"They target and kill journalists":

"There have indeed been jounalists killed in Iraq, as there have been in many conflicts around the globe. I have read many of the reports from investigations into these incidents. In most cases the deaths were due to reporters being caught in crossfire within battles. There have been cases of mistaken identity, as with the camerman on top of that Bagdad hotel that was fired on by a tank gunner. News agencies have to be aware that the lense of a camera at distance resembles the scope on a rifle or other gun.

Many of the claims of American Military killing were revealed to have come at the hands of insurgents.

War is a deadly business and not everyone who gets killed was "targeted" for death. I don't doubt for a minute that any soldier that discovers he or she fired on a reporter rather than a combatant wishes they could take it back. Only the most bitterly hostile individual could attribute this to a systematic endeavor as Linda Foley and her ilk do.

She disgusts me.

She should save her indignation for those that sawed the head off a living Daniel Pearl, or has she forgotten that reporter?"

Well said, Greg!
