I used to be a reporter, so I’ve watched the stories coming out of Iraq with a professional interest.<\/p>\n

Today, Radio Netherland<\/a> has a good story about what it’s like to be an independent reporter<\/a> covering the war in Iraq.<\/p>\n

It’s shocking how many journalists have been killed covering that war. And few, if any of the killings are even being investigated. This is a story worth reading, if you want another view of the way you’ve been getting the news from Baghdad.<\/p>\n

These brave journalists deserve our respect.<\/p>\n

And in the same vein, here’s one<\/a> about how tough life in Iraq is for an independent journalist. <\/p>\n

Finally, here’s an interesting piece<\/a> about the flap over some swear words in a PBS documentary that was supposed to run on US TV. It’s not strictly about Iraq, but it ties in to what we’ve been talking about.<\/p>\n
