Freelance videographer detained
A freelance video cameraman for CBS News has been arrested, U.S. military officials said Friday.

The cameraman was wounded Tuesday during a firefight between U.S. troops and insurgents in the northern city of Mosul.

U.S. military officials said that the man's camera held footage of roadside bomb attacks against U.S. troops and that they believe he was tipped off to those attacks.

A military statement said troops believe the man "poses an imperative threat to coalition forces" and that he "will be processed as any other security detainee."

CBS said the photographer was hired about three months ago, and it asked news organizations not to identify him.

The network said the man was referred by someone "who has had a trusted relationship with CBS News for two years."

"It is common practice in Iraq for Western news organizations to hire local cameramen in places considered too dangerous for Westerners to work effectively," the network said in a statement.

"The very nature of their work often puts them in the middle of very volatile situations."

One official said at least four videos in the man's camera show roadside bomb attacks on U.S. troops.

"The individual in question was carrying press credentials from CBS News," the military statement said. "Military officials detained this individual and are conducting an investigation into his previous activities as well as his alleged support of anti-Iraqi insurgency activities."

The trick to reading the New York Times is to keep a cool head and enjoy how ridiculous they can sound.

Good fish wrapper too. They use high quality ink and newsprint that don't get on the dead fish too much under normal fish wrapping conditions:-)

This is how the Gray Lady lionized Cardinal Bernardin, the alleged pederast and Satanist, when he died:

"the last great American Catholic leader of the Second Vatican Council era . . . who rose rapidly to national leadership and who was at the center of almost every major development in American Catholicism for three decades."

Interestingly, the folks at the New York Times no longer even try to hide -- and in fact seem to be quite proud of the fact -- that 3 out of every 4 people who decide what goes on the front page of that paper are homosexuals.

Just How Gay is the New York Times?

The pro-homosexual metamorphosis at The New York Times has advanced so far that on any given day, three-quarters of the people who decide what goes on the front page are “not so closeted homosexuals,” according to Richard Berke, the Times’ National Political Correspondent.

Berke, a longtime member of the National Lesbian and Gay Journalists Association (NLFJA), made the following comments at a 10th anniversary reception for the group April 12 in Washington, D.C.:

"This is at a newspaper where not so long ago—when I started there 15 years ago—the department heads were asking for lists of the gay reporters on different sections so they could be punished in different ways. So things have really changed at the newspaper. Since I’ve been there there’s been a dramatic shift: I remember coming and wondering if there were any gay reporters there or whatever. Now it’s like, there are times when you look at the front-page meeting and … literally three-quarters of the people deciding what’s on the front page are not-so-closeted homosexuals. … [It is] a real far cry from what it was like not so long ago.”
