Last month marked the fifth anniversary of the US military shelling of the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad. The attack killed two journalists: Reuters cameraman Taras Protsyuk and Jose Couso, a cameraman for the Spanish television network Telecinco. The Pentagon has called the killings accidental, but in this broadcast exclusive Army Sgt. Adrienne Kinne (Ret.) reveals she saw secret US military documents that listed the hotel as a possible target. Kinne also discloses that she was personally ordered to eavesdrop on Americans working for news organizations and NGOs in Iraq.- chellebelly, on 05/15/2008, -0/+3I never believed that the shelling of the Palestine Hotel was accidental. It's just more Bush Administration BS.

- TrevaLVF, on 05/14/2008, -3/+8I never believed the "it was accidental" response. The Bush regime and its enablers at the Pentagon did not want independent journalists there. They spent loads of US tax dollars to embed pseudo-journalists for whom we were forced to pay expenses for bed rolls, tents, bottled water and transportation, among other things. (Other things include body armor.) This regime and Pentagon brass wanted full control over how these so-called journalists reported what they saw and heard. It went way beyond the understandable protection of our troops, which had been an issue concerning journalists during the US military involvement in Vietnam.
I still recall the time when a US tank rushed up to a gaggle of journalists and fired on a photographer. I can't recall if he worked for Reuters, or the AP. - EllieElliott, on 05/14/2008, -0/+2OMG
