[net.politics] The news media and the wars

aouriri@ittvax.UUCP (Chedley Aouriri) (03/22/85)

Two CBS newsmen have been killed by an israeli tank, because they were
filming the atrocities of the war in a village in South Lebanon,
despite the orders of the Israeli Army's bureau of information
censorship.
This despiteful terrorist murder proves once again that in a war,
there is no angels. All warriors, civilians or in uniform, do
resort to barbaric actions, including those who derive their
legitimity from the nazi holocaust of World-War-II. 
It also proves that all the democratic principles of free speech
and opinion do not hold much weight in a war situation.
