From the Guardian:
American troops in Baghdad yesterday blasted their way into the home of an Iraqi journalist working for the Guardian and Channel 4, firing bullets into the bedroom where he was sleeping with his wife and children.

I guess it had nothing to do with his investigation into the misuse and misappropriation of funds by the US and UK in Iraq.
Quite how his 3 year old daughter and seven month son reacted to having the bedroom sprayed with bullets is not clear in the article.
What the article does make clear however, is that Dr. Ali Fadhil was quickly released, but the tapes of the program he was making about the misuse of funds were not released.

In a domestic situation of Martial Law after our troops come home in 2007, Pentagon/DoD can write a new GI Joe guide how to handle from experience in Baghdad.
“Those damn journalists,” I hear RMN talking in the Oval office.

No wonder the MSM is afraid to write anything negative about the Cabal of Fascists in the White House. The MSM has been starting to report some truths. Maybe this was the Fascists way to warn them? See, I don’t trust these Fascists at all and believe they will stop at nothing to keep their sick little secrets! IMPEACH now before it is too late!
We’re just spreading ‘freedom’ everywhere aren’t we. Reports like this are starting to come out more/more although still a trickle of what is no doubt really happening over there(and here for that matter as far as news is concerned). I wonder if the American public is ever going to be told the real truth of what is happening over there and to the assault on our government here?
Hideous enough to arrest a journalist but to break into the home and start shooting it up with the family there shows how far down the rabbit hole our troops orders have deteriorated into police state type actions and the very actions they supposedly got rid of Saddam for, right?
