“At least 8 Iraqis were killed and 13 more were wounded during light attacks today. Two U.S. soldiers were killed as well, during a bombing in Baghdad. Also, U.S. forces detained another Iraqi journalist. He is the second one this week. Meanwhile, Iraqi Vice President Adel Abdul-Mahdi says that elections will take place this year. U.S. forces have arrested an Iraqi cameraman and three family members. He is the second journalist detained this week and works for Baghdad TV, which is owned by a Sunni political group. U.S. forces regularly detain Iraqi journalists but release them weeks or months later without ever charging them with crimes. U.S. military officials maintain they have the right to detain people indefinitely without charges so long as they consider them threats to peace.” (09/04/08)
