Could Terry Lloyd along with ITN News crew have been assassinated?

*IRAQ: latest news and developments
- Thread starter editor

When I heard that they had been killed by friendly fire I did remember hearing that the Pentagon said that they would shoot independant journalists before the conflict began. But even with my mistrust of my government and the military, I can't get my head around believing that they would do that on purpose...

70 to 120 Iraqi military vehicles have left Basra and are heading south. The allies are reporting "successfully" attacking them. No-one is sure what the Iraqi intentions are.
Officials also said that news reports that a column of 120 Iraqi tanks had been spotted moving out of Basra on Wednesday evening proved to involve just three Iraqi tanks.

As reported on ITV News: Embedded journalist said that after the "friendly fire incident" in which 30 US troops were injured, a senior ranking US officer who was not named said: "This whole war stinks, Im fed up of it already."

"Philip Smucker, a contract reporter for the Monitor and The Daily Telegraph of London, was escorted by the US Marines from the front lines of the war in Iraq Thursday. He is being taken to Kuwait, the Pentagon says, because of information Smucker reported in a broadcast appearance with CNN early Wednesday" CS Monitor
Phil Smucker, who writes for the Christian Science Monitor, told his paper yesterday that military police were going through his belongings and were concerned that he had disclosed too much information in an interview, according to Monitor Foreign Editor David Scott.
Despite repeated attempts to contact Smucker, "that's the last we've heard from him," Scott said. "He was upset. I don't think he felt like he'd done anything."
"Some general in Qatar blew a fuse and said, 'Get rid of this guy,' " said Smucker's father, John, who lives in Alexandria. David Scott said Smucker told him about 6:30 a.m. that he "got a general mad" with an interview he gave to CNN 90 minutes earlier and that the reporter said he was told that "I gave out information I shouldn't have given out."

This could hold valid, as in his penultimate live news cast, Terry was visibly apprehensive, and kept a constant eye on the US soldiers who had stopped him, and were lurking around out of the camera view.
Further during Centcom briefing, after General Abizaid had stopped his harpooning to Al Jazira reporter, New York times reporter asked; “General does this mean that now al Jazera is to be treated as hostile press?”

Iraqi Ambassador to UN having fired a broadside to US, UK stance on Iraq, prior to NegroPonte walking out, had informed UNSC of the 200 houses destroyed under the artillery shelling in Basra, and 400 houses destroyed in shelling in al Nasyiria!
Also emerging tonight is details of CIA advice were disregarded as to the extent of the resistance that would be on offer to the invasion forces in Iraq!
This is in fact in line with the treatment of reports from FBI, CIA, ATF, etc. regarding the events preceding to 9/11

On the ITN news this evening, journalists were prepared for the 'long haul' in Iraq. Bush looking embarrassed when pressed on how long the war would last. Looks like it's going on for a long time yet. What price a quick surgical conflict?

It appears there are moves for UN to emerge to a new environment, without US, and UK presence. If this attempt is successful, effectively the two hooligans would be out on exclusion, although UK stands to be kept out of Europe too!

Just watched BBC news. One of the injured American soldiers who was being interviewed said that they had been told to expect "little or no resistence" but that when they got to Nasiriya it was "a completely different ballgame".
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear.

Newsnight BBC2 reported that up to 120,000 more USA troops may be sent there.
The news of the 500 tribesmen massacered, as reported by BBC has not actually been confirmed yet.

Neither has the 120,000, but that doesn't seem to bother you.

Why don't you take your patronisation and condescencion off elsewhere and start another thread L&L?
After all, you are the one that's fond of reminding peeps that this thread is for *developments* in the war.
If you think you're not being patronising of condescending, you are certainly being hypocritical. Fuck off and start your own own threads if you disagree with a posters link, and quick appraisal.
(For the info of other posters on this particular board; although L&L adopts the gung-ho American approach, he is in fact a Brit ex-serviceman - so please don't insult Americans by lumping him in with the influx of Bushbots etc. Insult him in his own right )

Why should I?
Because you constantly *instruct* other people to do so.
I suspect that you are actually not as obtuse as your regular attacks against me would suggest.
So why don't you take your own advice and start a different thread about it if you want to discuss the matter?

Where do you get your bullshit from?
I am a Dutchman, who was brought up in Scotland, as a member of a very pacifistic and left-wing family. My father served time in prison for his actions against the Polaris Navy Base at Faslane.
I have been a farm labourer, a carpet cleaner, a lock-keeper on a Scottish canal and a lighthousekeeper on many Scottish and Isle of Man lighthouses. I have worked on deepsea trawlers sailing from Iceland on the North Atlantic.
I have never had anything to do with the military, of any country, and I resent you thinking that you know something, (on its own not so dispicable) and then passing it on as if it were true.

3 Carbon Filament Cruise missiles have exploded over Baghdad!
These are the so-called Ebombs, being used for the first time, so far there are no confirmation of the damage assessments!
Tonight Baghdad has been attacked heavily, it is worth noting that UNICEF is reporting of the constantly crying children, who cannot stop crying! They maintain the trauma of the on going operations in Baghdad, and their effects on the young are devastating!

I wonder if there are any Iraqi children crying for their tortured and executed parents.
