#22 Classical_Liberal, unlikely. But when the camera is facing sun and gives reflection, it my be mistaken for a sniper's sights. You don't think twain and make a nice head shot. |

#21 If they are standing with the terrorists they look just like another terrorist. |

#20 Practical question: At long distance sniping range, does the view of a man with a camera look like the view of a man with an RPG? |

#18 This guy's silly. Like we'd waste our time, energy, and ammo on targeting pansie-assed journalism majors, gimme a break. We don't target them nor should we be overly concerned with their safety. They got their job to do and so do we, just keep them the hell out of our way. Candy-asses. |

#17 If that's the way they feel, we should be real up front to and declare open season. Happy huntin. |

#16 With the managing editor finally letting his voice be heard, I can now see the source of Reuters's anti-americanism. |

#15 shouldn't US be "credited" for journalists deaths? Just, ya know, asking. |

#11 How can you tell the Journalists and Terrorists apart? The journalists are the ones that look like stereotypical British explorers from the early Tarzan movies. |

#10 CF - I know the one about Tenured Professors and Terrorists... "Journalists" and Terrorists, hmmmm. "Journalists" get a byline? |

#9 SPoD is right. When the rule is that you are either with us or against us, it's not smart for journalists to hang out with the other team. It's amazing that we haven't been able to bag more Al Jazeera "journalists" along with the Reuters guys. |

#8 Create an alternative media. Source our own stories. Expose and challenge the BS behind the MSM Meme du Jour. |

#6 They are not journalists---they are propagandists. They are as much an enemy as the jiihadists. They are covering PR for the enemy. Tough Schitskis, Reuters. Stay away from the war zone, or report from a safe bar booth and you will be ok. |

#4 I guess these guys need to learn that pointing lenses at US troops in the middle of a firefight can be unhealthy. |

#3 Rooters sends these guys into a battlezone so that Rooters can make money off the stories they report. You don't want your guys getting killed, keep 'em home and forego the profit. |

#2 I wish the US were to blame for more journalists deaths. Three is a good start. After a couple of dozen end up dead, journos might finally get the message. |

#1 I lay blame for there deaths as doing a dangerous job in a dangerous place. I suspect many of the deaths are more a problem of the jurnos embeding themselves with the "insurgents." Don't expect us to cry when your anti US propaganda factory loses operatives Rooters. |
