DEMOCRACY NOW! EXCLUSIVE: Fmr. Military Intelligence Sgt. Reveals US Listed Palestine Hotel in Baghdad as Target Prior to Killing of Two Journalists in 2003
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.

I think they still think Al Jazeera is part of Al Qaeda! It’s ridiculous.
It was obvious at the time that they were going after independent journalists, especially Al Jazeera ones. The only safe journalist was an embedded one. In the earlier stages of the war, crocks like Rumsfield and Perle were talking about Al Jazeera as if they were the TV wing of Al Qaeda.
To answer your second question, watch: Orwell Rolls In His Grave (must-see video; 2006)
We have a state-sponsored, corporate media that is in business to make a profit, not inform us on what’s really going on.
Why am I not surprised? And why as this taken so long to come out?
