Via Instapundit, this Centcom news release:

MOSUL, Iraq – Coalition soldiers questioned two news media cameramen and a reporter after a roadside bomb exploded near a Coalition convoy two kilometers north of Mosul June 3.

The media, who were at the scene prior to the attack, told soldiers at the scene they had received a tip to be at that location prior to the attack and they had witnessed the explosion.

There was minimal damage to a Coalition vehicle, a cracked windshield, and no serious injuries.

3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division soldiers requested the media accompany them to a base camp in Mosul to answer questions as witnesses to the incident. The news media representatives left the base camp in the mid afternoon.

This isn’t just a case of the “I’m a journalist first, and an American second” syndrome (besides, we don’t know their nationality); it’s worse than that. These folks are relegating being a “human being” to second-class status.
