I met Kate Adie on two occasions and Martin Bell, both British media dogs who wanted nothing but the truth. Met/briefed/embedded with many more. Journalists from Iraq MN Al-Iraqiya and Sabah, Baghdad TV, Reuters, Al-Arabiya and Al-Shaabiya to name but a few.
Many of these networks and plenty of others, including Al-Jazeera, have lost reporters, cameramen and interpreters wherever they go. 100's of them since 2001. Many of them reporting on the conflicts pre/post Iraq/911. These people would indeed jump on anything that was worthy of their time. No fear whatsoever and a hunger for exposing the truth. You can't keep them down. Fact. They are not selective. They have no allegiances.
