Speaking of war crimes...

The International Federation of Journalists has issued a press release which condemns yesterday's bombing of Iraqi Television by allied forces, calling it an illegitimate military target.

The bombing was "clearly an action taken to frustrate the use of television by the regime to communicate with the people of Iraq [and] must be investigated by the United Nations," says Aidan White, the IFJ General Secretary. "It appears to be an act of violent censorship that breaks the Geneva conventions."

Amnesty International agrees.

And, perhaps on a related note, it turns out that Al Jazeera has been hacked repeatedly over the last few days.
