CPJ to Honor Friend of Terrorists


Above: Al Qaeda fighters pose for Bilal Hussein in Fallujah

The Committee to Protect Journalists will honor, among others, Bilal Hussein--the AP stringer who was trusted enough by al Qaeda in Iraq that they posed for him. Just another example of a press so steeped in the idea of "neutrality" that they cannot make a moral distinction between al Qaeda and U.S. soldiers. Nor are they able to make a distinction between someone being held by an oppressive country for reporting on that regime's abuses and someone like Hussein, who was captured by U.S. forces harboring an al Qaeda fighter and with various IED making equipment in his apartment. A real hero right there........

Thanks to Soccer Dad.
