Reuters wants journalist's killing by US troops investigated. No response.

Reuters seeks Pentagon probe on journalist's death

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Reuters news agency urged the U.S. military on Sunday to investigate the killing of one of its journalists by American troops in Baghdad a year ago.

An independent inquiry commissioned by Reuters concluded that the soldiers' shooting of television soundman Waleed Khaled on August 28 last year appeared "unlawful."

But the Pentagon has failed to respond to requests to review the local commander's ruling, which said the firing of shots at the car was "appropriate."

In April, Reuters gave the U.S. Defense Department the report, which found the soldiers' own evidence did not support the commander's conclusion.

The report also criticized the military for "losing" vital video footage of the incident shot by the Reuters cameraman who was Khaled's passenger. He was wounded and then arrested by troops.

purges too. Maybe if Reuters had actually done some real journalism about WMDs, we wouldn't have been in Baghdad. Maybe if Reuters had Not played along with Rove and supported the current maladministration with just about every word they published, maybe then the fascists wouldn't have been in postion to murder their reporters too.

"Objectivity" can not always, necessarily, be equated with "Neutrality".

¿How many observers/reporters/jounalists has the USA so far (as they like to say, in-theater) killed?

¿How much information supressed, huh, Land of the Free?

but your criticizing of the reporters who work for Reuters for poor journalism is baffling to this writer who has gotten more reports of this administration's malfeasence abroad from Reuters than from any other news source.
