Iraqi Cameraman for CBS Faces Trial

Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq (AP) - An Iraqi cameraman working for CBS News when he was wounded
and detained by the U.S. military will be tried next month, CBS officials said Wednesday.

Abdul Ameer Younis Hussein's trial was scheduled to begin Wednesday, but an Iraqi judge
postponed the proceedings until April 5, said Larry Doyle, the CBS bureau chief in Baghdad.

Charges against Hussein have not been made public.

Hussein was taken into custody after being wounded by American forces as he videotaped clashes
in Mosul in northern Iraq in April 2005. Doyle said he received an e-mail from the U.S. task
force at Abu Ghraib saying Hussein "appeared to be instigating a crowd" in Mosul.

They won't say what he is charged with, but he faces life imprisonment if convicted.

5. exactly!
This is pretty chilling news, but frankly it's par for the course as far as media treatment in Iraq if you don't march in lock step with the U.S. party line.
