U.S. Says Troops Killed Iraq Journalists: "The U.S. military acknowledged Tuesday that American soldiers killed two employees of a U.S.-funded Iraqi television station, saying the men may have failed to heed warning shots. A wounded cameraman said troops opened fire immediately on their vehicle.
... The shooting of Al-Iraqiya correspondent Asaad Kadhim and his driver, Hussein Saleh, was galling for many employees because their station — funded by the Pentagon (news - web sites) and broadcasting from U.S. coalition headquarters — is derided by many Iraqis as a source of American propaganda."
