Reporter Murdered in Baghdad

We often hear how difficult it is for Western reporters to move freely about Iraq in order to provide their readers with the best picture of what is going on in the war, and as a result all Western news outlets rely upon legions of Iraqi reporters who can move more freely, while acting as interpreters, guides and drivers.

Well, one of these reporters who worked for the New York Times was murdered in Baghdad the other day, his name was Khalid Hassan, he was 23 and the sole bread winner for a large family. If anyone is interested in donating to the fund to help his family out, this is how you do it.
