From friends I've talked to in the photo news world, some do not even want to cover Iraq anymore with the increasing violence and odd American "democratic" rules in Baghdad. More have now been killed in Iraq than any other war. Remember the US bombed Al Jazeera during the first bombing campaigns then warned any journalist that the only safe place is with imbedded coalition troops. Keep the news one sided as much as possible.
