'Deliberately Targeted'

Best of the Web Today - May 21, 2004
By JAMES TARANTO
<font size=4>
Buried in a New York Times dispatch on a battle in Karbala, Iraq, is this jaw-dropping paragraph:
<font size=3>
Iraq has become one of the most dangerous places in the world from which to report, with enormous potential for journalists to be deliberately targeted by either side or caught in the crossfire.
<font size=4>
We guess the weasel word potential makes this something
less than a direct accusation, but the Times certainly
seems to be implying that coalition troops are trying to
kill journalists in Iraq. Is there any evidence for such a
thing, or is the Times simply becoming more brazen in its
anti-American slanting of the news?
