They must be joking!
Chris Tryhorn in the Guardian - Reuters TV forced to pull plug on CNN:
Reuters has barred CNN from using its Baghdad video feed after the Iraqi authorities ordered the news agency not to supply the US network with pictures.

Although CNN can use Reuters' audio material, pictures being sent around the world by the agency are marked "NO ACCESS CNN".

The agency's reluctant decision to prevent CNN using its TV footage comes after the rolling news network was expelled from Baghdad.

The Iraqis accused CNN of being a "propaganda tool" for the US army.
The Iraqi thugs must not have caught Judy "I'm deeply saddened" Woodruff lately. But Reuters is right where I would expect them to be - marching with Saddam.
