Man Bites Dog Best of the Web Today BY JAMES TARANTO Tuesday, June 12, 2007 3:24 p.m. EDT Actually, this is rarer than man bites dog--it's journalists condemn terrorists. The Associated Press reports from Jerusalem: <<< Journalists on Sunday condemned Palestinian militants for using a television truck to disguise their assault on an Israeli military position, saying the new tactic would make their jobs significantly more dangerous. In Saturday's attack, four gunmen drove a white jeep with press markings in English and Arabic to a fence on the Gaza-Israel border, then broke through on foot and attacked a guard tower in a failed attempt to capture a soldier. Israeli troops killed one gunman, while the others escaped. >>> The terror group behind the TV-truck caper said it would never do such a thing, citing professional courtesy: <<< Islamic Jihad spokesman Abu Ahmad denied the group had put the press markings on the jeep and accused the Israeli military of doing so after the incident. "Islamic Jihad appreciates the work of the international and the Palestinian media," he said. But AP photos clearly show the markings on the jeep when the attack was under way. >>> Inasmuch as this tactic makes it harder for the media to play the role of conduit for Palestinian terror groups' propaganda, it is not entirely a bad development. opinionjournal.com guardian.co.uk
