A Dangerous Masquerade

“Anyone watching the hostage

crisis in Luxembourg last week

would applaud the release of nursery

school children and their caregivers

after a crazed gunman was shot by

local police. But by using a camera crew as camouflage for

their gun and by shooting the suspect who thought he was

getting ready to give a television interview, the Luxembourg

police have now made it more dangerous for other

journalists to do their jobs and thus harder for them to get

news of critical importance.” [New York Times]
