You may have heard of "Hentish," the dog in The New York Times that was shot and killed by a Blackwater security guard earlier this week. However in the media's over zealous attempt to crucify Blackwater USA they left out a surprisingly telling piece about some of the dogs that were harbored at the Times compound in Baghdad.
The New York Post reported yesterday that these dogs had already attacked people before, including Eason Jordan who runs the blog IraqSlogger.com, and is a former CNN chief news executive.
"Eason's encounter, revealed on his blog yesterday, involved a dog named Scratch and left him with ‘three deep gashes in my right hand, sending blood spewing in all directions,'" the Post story said.
Eason's blog post also revealed other canine nightmares:
"Last month, a New York Times correspondent told me one of the bureau dogs bit an Iraqi in the crotch and attacked photojournalist Mike Kambers in the chest (if a dog bit me in the crotch, I might be inclined to euthanize it on the spot)."
This shouldn't come as any surprise to us. The media has had nothing nice to say about Blackwater. The Business and Media Institute has documented this multiple times, including a forty minute bash session on Bill Moyers Journal. The media refused to give Blackwater any credit even after they rescued the Polish Ambassador during a shooting incident back in October.

I expect nothing less from
December 21, 2007 - 15:40 ET by bigtimerI expect nothing less from the NYT's and others of their ilk.
Of course Blackwater is bad, along with Halliburton, Cheney, Pres. Bush, all of our military...blah blah blah....
I just wonder what all the dogs were taught and have been through...whatever it is... it must be a consevatives fault....probably Rove and his devious plans....after-all Eason Jordon....lol.
You have to do what you have to do if a dog is attacking you or others without provacation...sit, stay, fetch, roll-over and play dead doesn't work.

Come on, bt, you know these
December 21, 2007 - 18:04 ET by motherbeltCome on, bt, you know these were probably just nice little doggies playing happily in their pen (something like those kids with the kites, remember?) and that sadistic Blackwater guard just shot one for no reason at all....
