What is really behind the killing of my colleague and friend, the Palestinian Reuters cameraman, Mazen Dana, in Bagdad? Is the Pentagon really scared of the media telling the U.S public what is really going on in Iraq? Do the criminals in the Pentagon want to cover their crimes against their own soldiers by killing journalists in Iraq? If so, then this is what can be called organized terror.

The U.S. troops obviously felt threatened and in big danger due to the Palestinian Reuters cameraman, Mazen Dana, who was investigating a story about secret burials of U.S. mercenaries and soldiers in mass graves in far-away places in deserts strips around Baghdad, burials which had obviously been authorized by the commanders of the U.S. army.

Mazen's scoop began when he realized that that the U.S. troops were burying human bodies wrapped in plastic in the desert. Initially, he thought that these were the bodies of Iraqi people. He kept watching and investigating the activities of the U.S. troops. He kept developing his scoop, working around different U.S. units and military jails, trying to figure out where the bodies had come from, and whether they were Iraqi or not.

Ultimately he found a source, a U.S. mercenary, who told him that those buried were not Iraqis, but mercenaries who had been promised green cards and U.S. citizenship in return for serving in the U.S. Army. Besides, according to this source, not few of those interred were Americans who had been killed in combat. Mazen had been able to film the activities of the U.S. army, and their secret mass graves. He was experienced in journalistic work in areas of conflict and under dangerous conditions. In our hometown Hebron, he had been covering the Israeli Duvdevan units, essentially death squads of the Israeli army which can not normally be filmed. Since he had become aware of what the Americans were doing in the desert, he kept the secret to himself. The intelligence units of the U.S. Army probably knew that Mazen was uncovering, and they must have feared that their secret desert burials would expose the Pentagon and the Army for involvement in a big scandal.

4. And thanks for rehashing...

...the already-debunked-1000-times conspiracy theory about the US military hiding troop deaths.

5. That's what I'm looking for

further info to corroborate or debunk. Perhaps rather than an incendiary response you would do well to post info which you possess.

7. Yeah! C'mon Crowley

Don't have any smokers versus non-smokers, teachers having sex with puppies, circumcised nuns threads?

Its so much worse to be a "conspiracy theorist" (even after 6+ years of lie upon lie from these people), than to post a gazillion threads that belong on Greta Van Susteran's show or on Nancy Grace....

6. "mercenaries... promised green cards and U.S. citizenship " HOLY $#!% !!

I was just wondering about this the other day -- how many of Blackwater's mercs are not American nationals? And what bigger incentive to recruit than to offer US citizenship to someone who's wanted by the law in another country?

(I don't put much stock in the "assasination" take -- brute carelessness is more common than targeting. Probably just another instance of the "better shoot to be sure" approach that seems to be the unofficial policy among occupation forces.)
