Reuters says US troops obstruct reporting of Iraq

Finally the mainstream will admit that soldiers are routinely threatening and killing reporters.

This is not an accidental but a deliberate systemic policy by our military. This is meant to push out any and all opinions outside of those spoon-fed to the public by the defense department through the media propaganda machine, i.e. Fox and CNN.

At least 66 journalists and media workers, most of them Iraqis, have been killed in the Iraq conflict since March 2003.
