RUMSFELD AGREES TO ANSWER MEDIA SAFETY CONCERNS

U.S. Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld has agreed to address concerns about the safety of journalists in Iraq following concerted lobbying by media organisations and press freedom groups, including the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

The chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, John Warner, raised the issue of journalists detained and shot by American soldiers at a hearing with Rumsfeld and senior generals on 29 September 2005.

It came after Warner received copies of letters CPJ and Reuters had written to Rumsfeld, and a phone call from CPJ chairman and "Wall Street Journal" Managing Editor Paul Steiger.

1. That old fool.

RumsFailed does not want journalists in Iraq, sticking their noses intot things that we do over there. The facts prove it: you go to Iraq to cover a story, and you are in mortal danger.

It's RumsFool's doing. He gave the orders. Now watch him give no-answer answers.

4. He has slipped his moorings. He's in love with his astonishing ability

to have people killed, and he won't resist the temptation. He is diseased.

I hope faces and voices of the lost souls he has stolen from life will never leave him a moment's peace for the rest of his filthy life.
