Post; AP attack the rescue of reporter


http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20090910...Fja2xhc2htb3Vu

And here it is.
We're not surprised and I'm sure most of us are disappointed that the British forces bothered to rescue this cvnt.

Yeah good on the Brits for successful mission, but I'd never put good men in harms way to snatch some POS NYT Journo out of a situation he put himself in by an astounding lack of situational awarness.

Shouldn't have bothered.

I think the soldiers would have earned a medal if they instead raided the compound, killed the reporter, and left.

Why on earth are reporters allowed to run hither n thither? I thought they stayed with military groups n they shouldn't be allowed to run amok alone endangering themselves n if they do...well..they should sign ... *Do Not Rescue* waivers or something. Yeah..mean thought but...well...geezz

I think they do sign those "do not rescue" waivers. Some groups do sign them but they're never true to them.
I've actually seen some of these reporters in action (though only in the planning and leaving phase... was never stupid enough to get involved in their nonsense). I'm sure there are some who are complete professionals though I personally haven't seen any. The ones I did see were complete amateurs. A good friend was supposed to accompany them and when I heard of their mission template I forced the friend out of the group... nearly died of a heart attack when I heard what they were doing.
