In memory of Journalists killed in Iraq.
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them. Galileo Galilei (1564 - 1642)
Thanks to journalists.homestead.com for some of the photos and Aljazeera. Other info from the Guardian, BBC, Reuters and other sources. This page is simply a tribute to the journalists who died trying to report on the truth. Some of these journalists were perhaps targeted by US troops who seem to be covering up some of the deaths reported here.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Most journalists are the dregs of the Earth, jobsworths who simply churn out 'acceptable' stories which the Government and Military approve of. Some of the journalists who are on the list above were brave men who took a chance to let the truth be told. Sadly, they told their last story, or took their last photograph or movie footage or sound recordings in a Country which they themselves had no part in trying to destroy. To those journalists who made there last journey to a Country torn by war and civil unrest in search of the truth, we salute you.
To all war correspondents out there, to all those who cover the horror of mankinds cruelty to mankind, maybe one day the horror which you captured may persuade us that war is a barbaric way to solve our differences. An independent journalist who covers war is a peacemaker. The pursuit of truth can bring grim consequences to those who pursue it. Thanks to those who have been killed in their duty of reporting on the truth and to those imprisoned and tortured.
Note: There is a big difference between an 'embedded reporter' and an independent reporter who does not travel with the military and is more likely to have an independent view of the situation.
For one of the UK's finest war Reporters - look at the work by Robert Frisk who writes for amongst others, the Independent.
