Journalists...

I certainly don't advocate the systematic killing of journalists, but I can understand culling their self-important numbers every so often. The cure for thinking that journalism is the most important profession in the world is to spend some time with them, preferably the ones who went to J-School. You will not find a bigger group of numbskulls on the planet.

So when I read of the International Journalists' Union and Coven calling this a war crime, my instinct is to roll my eyes. Especially when they use the sort of pompous language of "any attempt to silence a journalist must be brought to justice."

Sorry, guys. Often silencing journalists is justice.
