| 2005-04-13 |
| Video with subtitles available on memritv.org, you will have to scroll a couple of pages back in the archives. With the revelations about one of the photos awarded a Pulitzer being taken by a photographered tipped in advance of terrorist executions, here is another story that details the terrorist use of photographers. From memritv.org: Interviewer: Okay. What was your role in this vile miserable terrorist squad? Omar Allawi: Sir, I am a photographer. Interviewer: How did you meet them? Omar 'Allawi: While I was staying at a Mosul hotel, Kna'an came up to me and told me about a plan proposed by his cousin Salem Mula Ali. Interviewer: A plan for slaughter? Omar 'Allawi: When I asked, he talked about joining the Liberation Army, which is financed by the Syrian intelligence. I asked him how, and he said that there is no police or government and that when the country stabilizes we will be one of its stronger elements. Interviewer: Through slaughter. Omar 'Allawi: Yes, sir. So I became their photographer. They would bring them to the hotel, and I would film them. Interviewer: How many people were killed in your presence? Omar 'Allawi: They killed eight policemen and six of the National Guard. Interviewer: You filmed them? Omar 'Allawi: Yes, sir. Interviewer: You didn't participate in the slaughter? Omar 'Allawi: No, sir. I only filmed them, and once I took part in a kidnapping operation. Interviewer: Kidnapping who? Omar 'Allawi: Policemen. Interviewer: How much did you get for the filming? Omar 'Allawi: I got $200 for each film. |

| #10 Uh, he was not a member of the mainstream media. At the least, he was an Iraqi photographer/videographer who was paid to work with the terrorists. At the most, he was a stringer feeding Arab networks beheading/kidnapping videos. |

| #7 Real fruitcakes never use words like penumbra, emanation or abridged correctly. That's how you can tell it's sarcasm when you read it here at the 'Burg. ;-) |

| #6 Now the question is... Did CBS know about his -er- photographic exploits when they hired him. Is that what they were looking for? No doubt the MSM will be all over this. Only they will spin it as a violation of the press..... |

| #1 This is an outrageous way for members of the M$M to be treated.Did they check this guy for press credentials? His rights as the penumbra of a TLA network emanation are being abridged. Where's the ACLU? Where's the outrage? $200 per film? That's twice what AP pays. Oil for film, a UN program, probably. |
