    We should let all reporters into a warzone.

    Let them duck and get shot at like everyone else. They're going to complain either way, anyhow. It wouldn't matter if there were 2 or 3 or 4 sources confirming what appears now to a be gun battle at the UN school where Hamas fighters were firing mortars at troops from within the school. It wouldn't matter who confirmed that. You'd not believe it or ignore it.

    PS about 5 years ago a BBC stringer got in the middle of a firefight and was killed. His family sued the IDF and won. Because you know, wearing a "Press" badge is supposed to make you bulletproof in the midst of 40 people shooting at each other. It doesn't even matter who shot whom. It's the Jews' fault.
