Unless you are suggesting that your military has deliberately set out to target Press members apparently involved then it has nothing to do with free press or photographers marching in the streets for their rights or whatever. However, I was expressing my personal opinion. I am not in charge of the LUG. Feel free to disagree with me off list if you wish.
