U.S. confiscates the AP’s Iraq bombing footage.
At least three people were killed yesterday when the diplomatic convoy carrying Poland’s ambassador to Iraq was ambushed by bombs and gunfire “in one of Baghdad’s most secure neighborhoods.” The ambassador survived after “being pulled to safety and airlifted in a rescue mission by the embattled security firm Blackwater USA.” An AP Television News caught the chaotic aftermath on camera, but the footage has been confiscated by American authorities:
American authorities confiscated an AP Television News videotape that contained scenes of the wounded being evacuated. U.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl told AP that Iraqi law make it illegal to photograph or videotape the aftermath of bombings or other attacks.

Ah…here’s an Iraqi law the US enforces–not the get the hell out of our country order given to Blackwater last week.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:05 pmIraqi law….yeah right, Iraqi law prohibits news getting out. Total information lockdown, only what we feed you.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:06 pm“…illegal to photograph or videotape the aftermath of bombings or other attacks.”
It ist Verbotten for you to see US failure in Iraq
Schnell! Move on; nothing to see here
Hail the Chimp-In-Charge
October 4th, 2007 at 2:07 pmHow convenient, and IRAQI LAW (yeah, right) that makes sure that the truth doesn’t get out, real nice. How’s the surge working?
It’s like an Indiana fair, all sunshine and cottoncandy.
Buck Fush
October 4th, 2007 at 2:09 pmJust noticed-AMERICAN forces took the footage. If this is an IRAQI law, how can AMERICAN forces take the footage?
Maybe it is GW666’s law or should I say mandate.

October 4th, 2007 at 2:11 pmGreat comments,
I think I am going to move to Venzuela, where freespeech is king and the “truth” reins supreme….
Yet you guys had no issue with CNN showing the sniping of our soldiers from the insurgent perspective. Wow.
As I recall, doesn’t the AP have issues with doctoring their reports to give them “pop”?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:14 pmWhat you don’t see can’t hurt us. No muss, no fuss. Very convenient for the administration. Completely despicable.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:15 pmI guess the media will have to hire some sketch artists with photographic memories.
And, how about reporting the confiscation of the videotapes as news, in and of itself? Anyone?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:16 pm6,
Huh?
You are speaking for me and I have no idea what it is you have me believing. Huh?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:16 pmYet you guys had no issue with CNN showing the sniping of our soldiers from the insurgent perspective. Wow.
I dont watch CNN, I attribute the showing of that to YOUR view.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:17 pmQuite possibly there were Blackwater personnel firing weapons in the video.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:19 pmEuroNews aired this on their “No Comment” section last night here in the UK.
“03.10.2007 in Baghdad, Iraq - Poland’s ambassador to Iraq has been evacuated by helicopter after being wounded in an explosion targeting the Polish embassy convoy in Baghdad.”
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6y8Q_ww7k2Q
October 4th, 2007 at 2:19 pm#6 is just projecting his false belief, and quite strangely, believing it.
Like really weird.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:19 pmQuite possibly there were Blackwater personnel firing weapons in the video. Comment by Nevar
It was a BW helicopter.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:20 pmThe part that they aren’t mentioning in any of these rah rah Blackwater stories is that Blackwater was rescuing itself. Blackwater is in charge o protecting State Department officials. So, when said State Department officials are over run and are in trouble, it is because Blackwater was doing a pi$$ poor job of protecting those officials.
So, the Blackwater mercenaries weren’t rescuing the US Military, it was rescuing other Blackwater mercenaries who were fu*k ups.
Go Team Terror!
October 4th, 2007 at 2:21 pmUh oh, now EuroNews and YouTube will have to be confiscated!
October 4th, 2007 at 2:22 pmUnderstood about the helicopter, who was the security detail?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:22 pmEvery photo I’ve seen of a Blackwater helicopter has had a guy with an automatic weapon in the doorway….
#6…Please clarify your statement. I can’t even respond when I’m not quite sure what you’re taking issue with.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:23 pm19,
Please don’t encourage the loons
October 4th, 2007 at 2:23 pmWhatever was on that tape, we know one thing: it didn’t reflect well on the bush admisnstration. If it did, it would be the lead story everywhere. the fact that it was Blackwater rescuing a diplomat yet is not suitable for public consumption tells me that something was very ugly. Is there any coverage in the polish press about the incident?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:25 pmAs I recall, doesn’t the AP have issues with doctoring their reports to give them “pop�
Comment by Joneser
No, Jonester, the AP does not have issues with doctoring their reports. This is what Right Wing Loon talking head websites do.
Perhaps you would like to back up your assertion with a link to any site (other than the Right Wing Loon talking head sites) where the AP has been accused of doctoring reports.
My bet is that the film was confiscated because it caught Blackwater doing something that the US didn’t want to be made public.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:27 pmBobwurst,
Poland has been confiscated…hehehehe
October 4th, 2007 at 2:28 pm#6…Please clarify your statement. I can’t even respond when I’m not quite sure what you’re taking issue with.
Comment by Menehune
I think this is a mixture of one part rightwing irony-one part strawman-
October 4th, 2007 at 2:29 pmand two parts oxycotin laced paranoia parroting.
It is not what Blackwater did in this case, it is what they didn’t do. They didn’t protect the Ambassador of Poland. Right now the right wing is trying to paint them as glorious protectors of freedom and they aren’t they aren’t any better than our American troops, other than they have better equipment and get paid more.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:29 pmJournalists have to follow Iraqi law but Blackwater’s mercenaries are immune. How convenient.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:32 pmpfft
I’d kick somebody’s ass for stealing my crap
October 4th, 2007 at 2:34 pmTHATS OK, THEY CONFISCATED THE FOOTAGE OF THE “JET” HITTING THE PENTAGON TOO… makes you wonder what they have to hide?
http://911research.wtc7.net/ pentagon/ evidence/ footage.html
October 4th, 2007 at 2:36 pmIt is not what Blackwater did in this case, it is what they didn’t do. They didn’t protect the Ambassador of Poland.
Spudge Boy
I know Blackwater is in charge of protecting US diplomats and other State dept stooges, do we know that they’re in charge of protecting foreign diplomats as well? I read the E&P story but maybe I missed that part. Whoever was in charge of security screwed up. It sounds like they were taking a predictable route at a predictable time. Even I, a long-haired, overweight garden gnome, knows better than that.
It’s odd that this scenario happens two days after Prince testifyed about how many succesfull missions blackwater has completed (16000) or something like that.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:36 pm#25… I must admit to being truly baffled. My reading comprehension is usually pretty good…but 6’s comment will never be an essay question on the LSAT if ya know what I mean. It wasn’t because his thought was too deep–it was merely illucid.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:37 pm“Iraqi law make it illegal to photograph or videotape the aftermath of bombings or other attacks.”
And just when was this very convenient law supposedly passed? Since most of the time, the Iraqi parliment can’t even get a quorom together in order to vote on anything, this is pure B.S. And even more mysteriously…how about the thousands and thousands of photos and videos of the “aftermath” that we have already seen??
Or is the Bush administration now taking a page out of the Burma book on suppression of information?
October 4th, 2007 at 2:41 pmSomebody better tell the Iraq people the new law.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:41 pmAs the video of how Blackwater murdered innocent people and of course the hanging of Saddam. The new Iraq law is only for US Journalist not the Iraq people or the enemy. It’s to late to put the fake order in place. Even the US troops are being ordered killed by the Military if they speak up or find out the crimes committed. In the safest place in Afghanistan which is all Military in Bagram a Soldier from the finance Dept. found out how the Military was using our taxpayers money illegally and yes she was shot on the steps of the church. No since no Afghans are allowed on the base you would think this is a problem. No the Military Generals said she shot herself in the back of the head but they can’t find the weapon. You see American believe what ever their told no matter how stupid it sounds. Once we allowed Bush to lie to Americans face and Cheney to look at Americans as if they’re crap under his foot they can do and say anything without a problem.

October 4th, 2007 at 2:56 pmI just watched the CBS footage, and it looks like there are US military personalle who have secured the scene, and the Blackwater helicopter just lands and picks up the diplomat, who has already recieved some medical care. It doesn’t look like a “rescuse” as much as a taxi service/ photo -p to me.

October 4th, 2007 at 2:59 pmWhile all this myopic fumbling goes on about who rescued who, and who saw what, and who was or wasn’t doing their job, the reality that the Iraqi occupation is out of control goes unspoken.
October 4th, 2007 at 2:59 pmNo matter how they try to surge and purge and regurge the same old sh!t about Operation Iraqi Freedom, the reality is that Iraq is being destroyed.

Was the polish diplomat being guarded by blackwater, by the US, by the entire Polish contingent from the colitation of willing?

My guess is that he’s either a political science professor at Liberty Univeristy, or the Dean of Social Sciences at Regent…

October 4th, 2007 at 4:10 pmFreedom of the press is illegal in Iraq? Iraq is becoming more and more like us every day.
October 4th, 2007 at 4:22 pmWhy does the US Military hate Iraqi freedumb?
October 4th, 2007 at 4:29 pmU.S. military spokesman Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl told AP that Iraqi law make it illegal to photograph or videotape the aftermath of bombings or other attacks.
Out of site…out of mind. I noticed less TV coverage of insurgent attacks. Video is the life blood of TV News. They could show a map of Iraq with a bomb icon, while the reporter gives a voice over…but I bet they don’t.
October 4th, 2007 at 4:38 pmHey badger, howza bout a cute little map with gif animations of bombs exploding as you roll over them with you ied shaped mouse?
October 4th, 2007 at 4:39 pmArab language TV runs pictures of “collateral damage” with a human face over and over and over. Our “ostrich head in the sand “strategy to limit coverage of the war will make things look
October 4th, 2007 at 4:49 pmbetter , while we puzzle over why the insurgency is so determined.
why were American officials enforcing Iraq law and not Iraqis?

How short is your bus? Why is your grasp on the English language so tenuous?
“Look, it’s Bob bashing two jobs he’s not even qualified to attain.”
An educated person would say “not even qualified for…” an uneducated person ,who is trying to sound educated, would use the thesaurus function in a wordprocessing program and come with the original “qualified to attain” and not see how out of context attain is in this sentence.
“You never turned well, so what are you mouthing about?”
the syntax in this sentence is so painfully tortured that even bush would cringe. Is the little liar a fundie homeschooled goosestepper?
October 4th, 2007 at 5:09 pm“Why is it that the footage from EURONEWS (link above in #13’s comment) has a date of 03-10-07?
Comment by justasking ”
In some countries, its dd/mm/yy. In the US it’s mm/dd/yy. This came up during the Anthrax terror attacks right after 9-11. the terrorist (that bush hasn’t caught by the way, good work keeping us safe george) was posing as a foreign terrorist, using broken English and such, but his dates on his letters were American.

It was a good question, it’s not like these idiots would never put out a fake story to puff an embattled crony, and do it so poorly that it would be obvious to anyone with half a brain, which excludes the fighting 28th% koolaid drinkers.
October 4th, 2007 at 5:22 pmDoes anyone else think it is strange that American authorities are alway confiscating incriminating film footage ? First the plane hitting the White House, then how many others and now this.
October 4th, 2007 at 6:17 pmHow many parallels to past dictators can this administration exhibit? Joseph Goebbels and Dmitri Shepilov would be so proud of them!
