the palestine hotel in baghdad was shot at by american tanks on a bridge over the tigris river in the city.
the hotel isused by over 150 journalists covering the war.
americans say they recieved sniper fire from the building, a building that they know is a journalist building.
there are several different tv camera crews that caught the incident and the 20 minutes before on tape.
there was no firing from the building. or the iraqis for that matter before the incident.
an odd incident that cost the life of a reuters cameraman.
heres the odd thing. these 150 journalsits are the only ones in iraq not under supervision of the american or british armies. they are in a position to see and film everything that the americans do in baghdad. whereas the embedded journalists with the soldiers have been kept on a tight leash while fighting is going on.
do the americans want to keep the reality of the war hidden, as conspiracy theorists would have you believe, or was it simply a mistake in the heat of battle?
