Arab Journalists Walk Out On Powell

Arab Journalists Walk Out of Powell News Conference to Protest Deaths of Journalists

By BASSEM MROUE, Associated Press Writer

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Arab journalists on Friday walked out of a news conference held by U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell to protest the shooting deaths of two Iraqi reporters, allegedly by U.S. troops.

One Arab journalist stood up as soon as Powell walked into the room at the Baghdad convention center and read a statement saying that after one year of "U.S. occupation," Americans cannot provide security in Iraq.

"We demand an open investigation in front of the mass media," the Arab journalist said. "We also demand that security be guaranteed to journalists" working in Iraq, he said.

Seconds later, more than 20 journalists walked out of the room.

* As I have posted before Powell's credibilty is zero. He has proven that he is a blatant liar many times. He is a disgrace and has dishonored himself and the Constitution of the USA.

It is a real shame that American Journalists America mostly have lost their spines unlike Journalists from other parts of the World.

It seems that assasination of Journalists is now part of Bushco agenda.
