Based on the statistics (a dozen or so KIA), it would appear that (other than a Ba’ath Party functionary) the most hazardous thing to be in this war was a journalist. The ratio, and probability of being killed or injured, has to be pretty high.

I note that because I, like many in the blogosphere, beat up on the media so much (usually justifiably). But we shouldn’t forget the ones who did risk, and often sacrificed, their lives to deliver to us the facts on the ground.
