Il Manifesto Founder on Sgrena Shooting: This Was an Attack on Unembedded Journalism

This has turned into another international affair - pitting one side versus the other. It seems that there is an increasing tension between states broken down to a "he said-he said" amongst Allied states. It has come to this. Bullying invokes others to be on the defensive. It doesn't take a therapist to understand that the level of communication have degraded to the schoolyard argument of pointing fingers and blaming the other side. Even our allies are disputing BushCo claims in this shooting incident.
