Combat Journalism French style.

French magazine publishes photos of attack on DHL plane in Iraq
Wed Nov 26,10:29 AM ET Add Mideast - AFP to My Yahoo!

PARIS (AFP) - French weekly magazine, Paris Match, is to publish exclusive pictures of what it says are Iraqi rebels launching a missile attack on a German DHL cargo plane over Baghdad that led to a shutdown of commercial air traffic to the Iraqi capital.


AFP/Le Nouvel Observateur Photo

The images were taken by one of the magazine's photographers, Jerome Sessini, who was with the attackers -- described in the accompanying article as "Iraqi guerrillas" -- at the time of Saturday's missile strike, editor-in-chief Alain Genestar told AFP on Wednesday.


He said Sessini and a special correspondent sent to Iraq (news - web sites), Claudine Verniez-Palliez, had been with the group for several days beforehand and were unaware they were about to witness the attack.


"They had been asked to come see caches of arms very close to Baghdad and didn't discover the real reason for the operation until the last minute," Genestar said.

From an Al Quedista's cockpit point of would've been especially informative. If we're real lucky the French will be there to observe and comment on the next murderous attack. I'm sure it will be our fault.

WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON DOWN THERE?
Even slobby French journalists now seem to be able to infiltrate terrorist groups. Jeez, what's the CIA doing, still looking for those WMD's?

I wish you'd decide whether the CIA is the sinister force that overthrows governments or Inspector Cluseau.

Gotta say that

Vronsky does have a point here.

What is the CIA doing? If French Journalists can infiltrate a terrorist group..... I mean Sheesh!

At the same time, I'm equally disgusted by the fact that these "journalists" can just stand by and get their scoop as they watch innocents be fired on. F*ing disgusting.

Hell Yeah!

Now you guys got the idea.

I don't think we're in a position to be choosy about what approaches we should try in bringing these scumbags down. I can imagine that the idea of dressing up like a frenchman would be distasteful to say the least, but its proven to be effective.

Nice one Spock.
