The Blackwater Murders, huh?
Interesting. An AFP crew filmed the tag end of the attacks, and an AP TV crew arrived late. They were both tipped to the attacks in advance.
The film crews then incited the crowd to do that thing it did with the bodies. Sweet people, the media. Always looking to put American soldiers on TV -- regular or extra crispy.
This of course, raises the question, was the film of the mission planning taken by an Ali Baba cameraman as this reporter implies, or is it pro video shot by, say, AFP?
That's not as far-fetched as it sounds. Remember the missile attack on the DHL Airbus? A still photographer from Paris Match, and a TV news crew, whose affiliation I forget but it wasn't Al-Jazeera or Arabiya, participated in that terrorist act.
The media picked sides in this war, as usual. And they picked the enemy side, again as usual.
