An anonymous reader writes "Wired is running an article with some great
investigative journalism. Writer Thomas Green [0]snuck into the ISS World
Conference, a trade show featuring communications-tapping equipment and
normally a press-free event. There, he got some very interesting quotes
from the attendees." From the article: "You really need to educate
yourself ... Do you think this stuff doesn't happen in the West? Let me
tell you something. I sell this equipment all over the world, especially
in the Middle East. I deal with buyers from Qatar, and I get more concern
about proper legal procedure from them than I get in the USA."

It's a dangerous job but someone has to do it - don't they?
IRAQ THE MOST DEADLY WAR FOR REPORTERS
http://www.editorandpublisher.com/eandp/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1002577061
The Iraq war "is now the deadliest war for reporters in the past
century," reports Editor and Publisher. Seventy-one journalists and
26 media support staff have been killed in Iraq since 2003. That
compares to 69 journalists killed in World War II, 63 in Vietnam and
17 in Korea. In addition, at least 42 journalists have been
kidnapped in Iraq, according to Reporters Without Borders. As the
New York Times notes, "it is Iraqi journalists who have been most at
risk. Just this month, three Iraqi reporters were killed in a
two-week period." The news comes as CBS reports that two of its crew
members were killed in Iraq. Cameraman Paul Douglas and soundman
James Brolan are believed to be "the first embedded journalists to
die since 2003."
