Michele over at ASV writes about an announcement released by United States CENTCOM (Central Command) yesterday. According to CENTCOM, two news cameramen and a reporter working in Iraq were questioned after reportedly being tipped off to be at a particular location before a particular time. An explosion later took place at the site which caused some damage to military vehicles. No word on injuries to any soldiers.

Both Michele and the commenters at her site are concerned about the reporters' actions and whether or not they should have informed the Coalition soldiers of what they were tipped off about. It doesn't look like the press knew for sure it was going to be an attack, but one would assume that if you're told to be out in the middle of nowhere at some particular time then you might think something of this sort could happen, right? But the question is - where does the line between being an American citizen (I'm just assuming they are American) and "doing your job" start? Is it unethical for the newspeople to tell the military if they suspected something? This obviously borders on freedom of the press and freedom of speech concerns, and is definitely something that could be discussed for a long, long time.
