My emphasis:

On Wednesday the International Federation of Journalists said reports of a plan to attack al-Jazeera raised concerns that the US attack on the station's Baghdad office in April 2003, in which a reporter was killed, was deliberate targeting of the media.

"It is time for the United States to tell the truth about this attack and to take responsibility for its actions, which appear to be [a] gross violation of international humanitarian law," said Aidan White, general secretary of the IFJ.

The IFJ said it supported full disclosure of the alleged Blair-Bush conversation and a reopening of the investigation into the 2003 bombing of the al-Jazeera offices in Baghdad.

For an interesting read, try Worldwide Press Freedom Index 2005. The US slipped twenty places to number 44 in freedom of the press out of 167 countries.

Another note, from last year: "These latest deaths brings to at least 25 the toll of journalists and media assistants killed in Iraq since the start of the war in March 2003. This shocking statistic means Iraq is now one of the world's most dangerous places for journalists," said Reporters Without Borders.
