A War on Independent Journalists

Kate Adie, a BBC war correspondent, has revealed that the Pentagon is threatening "to fire on the satellite uplink positions of independent journalists in Iraq." In an interview on Irish radio, Adie claimed that the US is planning to do this "in order to control access to the airwaves." Another guest on the radio show, author Phillip Knightley, says the Pentagon has warned that it may "bomb areas in which war correspondents are attempting to report from the Iraqi side."
