Reference no: EM13191438

You are a magazine journalist assigned to cover the peace-keeping activities in Iraq. You have agreed to certain restrictions to enable you to have embedded access and to travel along with military patrols. While covering one of these patrols you witness an encounter between the platoon you are traveling with and a group of the newly formed Iraqi Security Force involved in the trafficking in stolen art from the Iraq national Museum. You also witness the officer in charge of the US platoon you're with report the arrest of the Iraqi Security Forces personnel to his commander, and that he is ordered to release these individuals and let them leave with their stolen art items. The next morning you are approached by a high-ranking US military officer and ordered not to report on what you witnessed because it is part of a secret deal to not pursue the small percentage of such criminal activity in support of the larger mission, and related PR, to build an effective and accepted Iraqi Security Force. You report on this story anyway and a number of days after the story appear in the national and international media you yourself are arrested, removed from Iraq back to the US, and charged with criminal violation of the terms of your agreement with the US DOD. You are released on bail and are preparing your own case defense.
