Steven Vincent was a brave and talented journalist who was murdered by extremists in Iraq because of what he wrote.

Kathryn Jean Lopez wrote a particularly strong tribute to him earlier today.

One has to wonder, though, whether Linda Foley, president of The Newspaper Guild, will continue to voice outrage over the death of a journalist when the "cavalier nature" of a reporter's killing isn't exhibited by the U.S. military but by Iraqi extremists.

A strong statement by the Guild president on the despicable killing of Vincent might be expected, one would think.
