Glad the list made it to you. :)

whats sad to me is that its probably been updated and longer now. :(

though it paints a serious picture as to the extent of a problem that most people deny because they only see the top of the iceberg.

the titanic was laid low by such a process. politskaya, Alexander Litvinenko, these people prove that while Stalin was a madman, he was crazy like a fox sometimes.

"One Death is a tragedy, One million a Statistic"

[whats worse is that you can look this one up and i have found people crediting people for saying it first in 2007!! http://lawrenceofcyberia.blogs.com/news/2007/05/one_death_is_a_.html so the middle east players have taken this to themselves]

this journalists list is hard to ignore. it will be interesting to see what the apologists say about it. i will bet that it will be not much, and they will go on to other things. or they will latch on to what i call the insurance claim. that this is just a record of the natural outcomes of journalists who do a dangerous job. and they will bet that a similar study out of the pool of all journalists in the west would do the same. except they will convieniently ignore that in the west we hollar and such a lot more for every person who is a victim like these!! in fact, we are yelling more than the people that should be yelling!!!

its hard to conceive of a press that is free if this is what happens to them. accidents they deal with and accept as a part of the thing, but accidents of state, thats another thing, and it WILL make many think more than twice before they commit their minds to type, and commit their lives to others.
