The thread title is misleading. You should revise it so that it accurately reflects what happened.
They were not specifically targeted. They were part of a group that was attacked. This is not exactly a developing story either. It has been in the press since mid-day.

The deaths of two CBS journalists on Monday means the Iraq conflict is now the deadliest war for reporters in this century.
Since 2003, 71 journalists have been killed in Iraq, more than the 63 killed in Vietnam, 17 killed in Korea -- and now the 69 killed in World War II, according to Freedom Forum.
The Iraq numbers do not include the 26 members of media support staff who have also died, as counted by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"It is absolutely striking," Ann Cooper, the executive director of the CPJ, said on Monday.
"We talk to veteran war correspondents who have covered everything going back to Vietnam and through Bosnia. Even those who have seen a number of different wars say they have never seen something like this conflict," Cooper told The New York Times.

There you go again trying to blame it all on Bush or are you trying to derail yet another topic? Here is a hint Bush did not tell the reporters to go there, they went on their own, at least according to the reports I have read they all volunteered.

If you haven't heard, Reporters go there so we can have Reports and News and Photos.

Why is it you care about Iraqis, more than say, Chechens? How about the U.N. rape of Congo? Isn't occupation still occupation no matter where it is?

Unlike many of our service members who although they volunteered for the military, they did not volunteer to go to Iraq.
My heart goes out to all families and friends of all the dead and wounded.
