WWI AND THE PRESS IN IRAQ

War Whore Laura Ingraham has a history of smearing the Press for not reporting on all the good news from Iraq and has accused them of reporting from their balconies. Today we find another example of how "good" it is in Iraq for journalists. I wonder if War Whore will condemn these killings?

BAGHDAD — Gunmen in Baghdad's Shaab neighborhood stormed into a house not far from an Iraqi police checkpoint and killed 11 members of an Iraqi journalist's family, witnesses and journalism organizations reported Monday.

The killings came after the journalist, Dhia al Kawazz, who edits a Web site from Amman, Jordan, that's frequently critical of militia groups, was warned to stop his work, said the family member, who asked to be identified only as Abu Mohammed.

At least 206 journalists and media assistants have been killed in Iraq since March 2003, according to the Paris-based advocacy group Reporters without Borders, which condemned the killings on Monday.
