Police fire at reporters as US tanks roll up to shrine
By Adrian Blomfield in Najaf
(Filed: 16/08/2004)


The bullet that whistled through the lobby of the Sea Hotel in Najaf yesterday, embedding shards of glass into a foreign reporter's cheek before lodging itself in an air-conditioning unit, carried an unmistakeable message: "Get out."

Journalists working in Iraq have long lived with the danger of being targeted by insurgents fighting US-led forces and their Iraqi allies. But in Najaf the roles have been abruptly reversed. Now the Iraqi police threaten journalists, and the insurgents welcome them.

As US marines and Iraqi security forces resumed their operation to evict insurgents from the Shrine of Ali, the holiest place in Shia Islam, the Iraqi interim government decided yesterday to treat the media as the enemy.

The authoritarian stance towards the press seems redolent of the days of Saddam Hussein. The Iraqi government has closed the offices of al-Jazeera, the most important Arab satellite station, accusing it of inciting the insurgents.

snip...

Instead the police chief delivered a blunt warning: journalists had two hours to leave Najaf or face arrest. Mr Jazeera's official explanation for the decision was that police guarding the hotel had found 550 lb of dynamite in a car nearby. That seems unlikely.

2. I wish this would bug more people...

Especially the kicking of Al Jazeera out of this country.

But no, we get the "Al Jazeera supports the terrorists" crap.

3. You freaked me out there for a minute....thought things had gotten to

you with Kill...Kill...Kill!

It's really upsetting. I saw one of those reports last night about ordering journalists out after a shooting incident.

Sounds to me like we are ordering this rather than the Iraqi's. Part of Negroponte's operations. After all he's an expert on how to work in situations where there's no media to cover his dark deeds.

Maybe at this point the reporters are glad to get the hell out of there, anyway, for their own safety. I haven't seen any reports of backlash from our US New about this. :eyes:
