    Your concern affects the truth not a wit.

    Your wit concerns the truth not at all.
    (I seem to have wandered into an Alexandre Dumas novel here.)

    It's happening more and more, B_R, more and more. Journalists are being killed, kidnapped and imprisoned at an astonishing - and ever-accelerating - pace. Heartbreaking.

    Conflict journalism was never "safe." But the world has become a much darker place for writers and reporters and photographers and editors in just the last few years.

    Yeah, with wars now being fought not by armies trying to take out strategic targets, but by non-official militias killing the innocent to demoralize.
