Reporting from the front: Again.

Here is a follow up for you on my last post. Today the US has learned that after the first two British tomahawk missles hit Qadaffi's compound that Libyan officials invited a group of CNN and Rueters reporters to the compound to view the damage done by the missles. In effect they used them as human shields, British Tornado fighters had to call off the follow up attack on the compound after learning the reporters were there. Again I ask you, what the hell are civilian reporters doing in a battle zone? What the hell is their purpose for being there?

Only good news for reporters today is that the four New York Times reporters captured last week were in fact released today by Libya.
