Dangerous french terrori...., I mean journalist, hooded using gaffer tape
and made to kneel in the desert for hours.

http://www.democracynow.org/article.pl?sid=05/06/08/140259

"French TV journalist Grégoire Deniau describes his ordeal in U.S. custody in Iraq. He was detained for a day during the siege of Fallujah in April 2004. He says despite showing his passport and French press ID, U.S. soldiers forced him to kneel for hours, gaffer-taped a hood over his face and hurled insults at him, calling him a dog and accused him, as a Frenchmen, of being pro-Arab. Deniau says he was released late at night, in the middle of the desert and was warned by the soldiers that US forces shoot everything that moves."

Watch the video. You have to see it to believe it, because, well...it's unbelievable.

1. Non-embedded journalists are considered the enemy.
The facts.

2. We don't target journalists, do we?
And if you say otherwise, you are publicly humiliated and lose your job
