On Thursday the Egyptian military began rounding up all the journalist. They do this for the safety of the journalists, and to put a stop to the attacks on them from the supporters of president Hosni Mubarak. Some reporters have been detained by the military as well. Foreign photographers reported a string of attacks on them Thursday morning by Mubarak supporters. A print journalist from Greece was stabbed in the leg with a screwdriver. Another Greek, who was a freelance photographer was punched in the face by a group of men who stopped him on the street, near Tahrir Square and demolished some of his equipment.
I find these attacks on the foreign journalists to be unnecessary. Just last night I was watching Piers Morgan tonight, and I saw how Anderson Copper, an American reporter and his crew were beaten by the supporters of Mubarak while trying to question them. I feel that the reporters have the right to report on a story this large, and whoever is stopping them, especially by beating them, has no right and should be punished.
