Pentagon clears soldiers of Mazen Dana killing

This is old news - a whole month old. But I'm on a "managed media" roll here today, and killing the journalists is about as direct management as you can get.

Reporters Without Borders reports the not-surprising finding.

"Whether it's the shelling of the Palestine Hotel that killed two journalists or Mazen Dana's death, attributed to a soldier's mistaking a camera for a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, the Pentagon settles for sham investigations that totally lack transparency and offer no answers," Reporters Without Borders secretary-general Robert Ménard said.

"Only the conclusions - identical in each case - are released and not even those directly concerned are told," Ménard said. "This casualness, combined with the absence of measures to prevent more tragedies, is an insult to the journalists who have been victims of the US army's blunders."

I also have been trying to keep a list of journalists killed on my fall-out page.

In case you missed the Mazen Dana scandal, here's an article you can read.

....but hey, do what you want....you will anyway.
