The Zap list is still alive... following is another report I just
received. Best, Chris Jones.
Two Portuguese were beaten and starved by American soldiers, for daring
to operate outside of the "embedded journalist" format and getting
caught by the Americans.
"I have covered 10 wars in the past six years - in Angola, Afghanistan,
Zaire, and East Timor. I have been arrested three times in Africa, but
have never been subjected to such treatment or been physically beaten
before," Castro said in an exclusive interview with Arab News.
***************
Castro told Arab News: "A lieutenant in charge of the military police
told me, 'My men are like dogs, they are trained only to attack, please
try to understand'."

"The Americans in Iraq are totally crazy and are afraid of everything
that moves. I would have expected this to happen to us at the hands of
the Iraqis, but not at the hands of the Americans. This is typical of
the American attitude, as related to us by British forces. The attitude
is 'shoot first and ask questions later'", Castro added.
