What outrages me as a representative of journalists is that there's not more outrage about the number, and the brutality, and the cavalier nature of the U.S. military toward the killing of journalists in Iraq." What I wonder is, Eason Jordan apparently made a similar statement but there was no video of that statement or transcript... [actually there is a video but the conference holders refuse to release it without Jordan's consent, which he refuses to give. .ed]
