there are thousands of such cases in Iraq probably every day
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Terry - 05-29-2008
Iraq is not a place for journalists, they should have long time ago realized this fact
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Terry - 07-17-2008
Thank God the time when US/European reporters are kidnapped in Iraq passed! Those were awful times.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Faw_Peter - 07-28-2008
I remember watching a movie (broadcasted on news) of three guys cutting the throat of an American. It was awful

Kidnapping will contunue in Iraq as long as the war is not ended. A recent attempt of kidnap was on July 2, current year.

What is really bad, is that the governments, the forces of which are in Iraq, have never fulfilled the terrorists' requirements for saving the hostages.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - angel - 08-01-2008
thats really worse, the police should be protected them from the terrorists' not beat them.
the situations will more worse from time to time.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Steven - 08-01-2008
why should it worsen? I think it will improve, at least due to the fact that USA established there its desirable government.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Faw_Peter - 08-02-2008
The Iraqi police is independent from the Government in its actions. The government formally is changed, but not the people's mentality who work there.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Steven - 08-05-2008
Iraqi policemen are monsters! Take a look at them, this picture was taken at a ceremony in Iraq on the occasion of a military holiday or something alike.
Imagine these guys beating a news photographer :banghead

very funny Steven, I don't even want to imagine. Once Iraqi police has a special military day, I think they should be enough educated and quite competent people. The case of photographer beating probably was made by some guys that don't deserve at all their position in police department.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Karl.in.eu - 08-11-2008
I had finally found a real photo from that event, from CNN, I think, and I may say, the policemen on the picture were not that fit as in the steven’s photo. Regular people, but they were like 4 or 5 of them beating him, while he was already on the ground. Cruel..
Should this be the results of the American democracy?

Karl.in.eu Wrote:Should this be the results of the American democracy?Definitely not, at least if America's intentions indeed were to establish democracy. I don't think such things may happen in the USA. Photographers/reporters/journalists have more than enough freedom there.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Hakan G - 08-13-2008
I agree with the democracy fact and USA's intentions
But it seems that journalists have some sort of freedom if such pictures could be made. Because the event seemed to be taking place in a backyard, surrounded by fences.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Terry - 08-14-2008
probably they were very busy beating the news photographer.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Karl.in.eu - 08-15-2008
Here is an actual photo of that event.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Nicholas - 08-15-2008
The man lying down is a photo reporter for Reuters. This incident happened when the Iraqi police asked for everybody to clear the place after another bomb exploded in the area, but the journalist kept on shooting pictures of the injured people.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Faw_Peter - 08-16-2008
he was stubborn and he got what he should have got! However I don't back such actions.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Nicholas - 08-17-2008
You're soooo selfish :oops:
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Terry - 08-18-2008
why selfish? I think he is right - the police has its rules, and if it allows others to interfere, there is no discipline anymore.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Steven - 08-28-2008
that gives no right to behave that way. Terry, what if your friend was that journalist, I thiink you would say the opposite words.

The situation is actually not discipline but abuse.
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Hakan G - 08-30-2008
My God..
I cannot imagine if the journalist was from Russia, or have a Russian passport… Would’ve Russia then enter Iraq?
At least this is their argument for Osettia
Re: Iraqi police beat news photographer - Benn - 10-27-2008
Let's not raise another Georgian talk here. What I can say is that Americans actually acted quite incorrectly not to protect their citizen.
