Spine.
Arab journalists have them.
Arab journalists walked out of a news conference held by American Secretary of State Colin Powell today in protest against the shooting deaths of two Iraqi reporters by US troops.One Arab journalist stood up as soon as Mr Powell walked into the room at the Baghdad convention center and read a statement saying that after one year of "US occupation," Americans cannot provide security in Iraq.
"We demand an open investigation in front of the mass media," the Arab journalist said. "We also demand that security be guaranteed to journalists" working in Iraq, he said.
Seconds later, more than 20 journalists walked out of the room.
American journalists: take note.

Absolutely! They have to make sure they get invited to the Rumsfelds' annual holiday bash! They can't afford to make anyone uncomfortable.

The 'good news' is that at least the word is getting out about how sorry ourmedia really is. You really only hear "librule media" from the idiot right wing rubes now. Some people are waking up.
