The United States can condemn other countries for their actions against international journalists, case in point::: the attention Bill Clinton received after negiotating the release of the two women journalists from North Korea.....yet the USA, the Pot; is calling the kettle black...The united states needs to do its own inventory......

Iraqi Journalist Detained for a Year Without Charge by U.S. Forces Despite Iraqi Court Order to Release Him
A year ago today, U.S. and Iraqi forces raided the home of Iraqi journalist Ibrahim Jassam, a freelance photographer working for Reuters. Soldiers seized his computer hard drive and cameras. He was led away, handcuffed and blindfolded. For the past year the U.S. military has held Jassam without charge. Ten months ago the Iraqi Central Criminal Court ordered his release for lack of evidence but the U.S. military refused to release him claiming he was a “high security threat.”
