Your correspondents were right about most of it but... I think that the Western press has an inflated view of their immunity from harm in dangerous situations. "Oh, I'm just an impartial journalist" seems to be their innoculation and they just don't get that there are many people out there who simply don't give a flying who they are or what they do. Much less for whom they work!

Yes, it'd be nice to think that if something like that happened to any of them the world would kick up a fuss. But isn't it a little like what the Russians claim happened in Salt Lake? I mean, if it were an Angolan reporter (not that Angola particularly cares, at this moment, about what's going on in Pakistan) would such a hue and cry and gnashing of teeth have occured? But because it was an AMERICAN reporter, etc.... It also lends credence to the theory that Jews control the world media (we do, but that's supposed to be our secret and you goyim aren't supposed to know!)
