Newseum Reverses Decision to Honor Hamas-Linked Journalists
(Huffington Post) Michael Calderone - The Newseum announced Monday that it will not honor two cameramen killed while working for Hamas-run Al-Aqsa TV, reversing a decision to include them on a memorial for fallen journalists. "Serious questions have been raised as to whether two of the individuals...were truly journalists or whether they were engaged in terrorist activities," a Newseum spokesman said. Critics of the plan to honor the men noted that the U.S. has designated Al-Aqsa a terrorist organization, given its ties to Hamas.
