CBS Cameraman Detained as Terrorist Suspect

Mudville Gazette says that CBS has responded to the arrest of its cameraman in Iraq.

"It is common practice in Iraq for Western news organizations to hire local cameramen in places considered too dangerous for Westerners to work effectively. The very nature of their work often puts them in the middle of very volatile situations," the statement said. "

CBS News continues to investigate the situation, and when more information becomes available, we will report it."

I hope that CBS would have done a thorough background check given its notorious past, but then again, this is CBS...
