War Reporters and 'Souvenirs'
More news on reporters collecting souvenirs in Iraq:


Fox News Channel fires a satellite truck engineer charged after attempting to smuggle 12 paintings taken from a palace in Baghdad, according to the Associated Press.


The Boston Herald doesn’t plan to discipline its reporter who liberated items from Iraq because they are “clearly souvenirs” his editor told the Boston Globe. The reporter, Jules Crittendon, writes to Poynter Online (via Romenesko) to say “In Iraq, these items were being routinely discarded and destroyed, and clearly were of no value to the Iraqi people.”
