Great condolences to the friends and family of Simon Cumbers, the BBC cameraman who was murdered in Saudi Arabia today. Best recovery wishes to journalist Frank Gardner, who was injured in the same attack.

Congratulations to all the brave people like Mr Cumbers and Mr Gardner who risk (and sometimes attain) death to tell us what’s really happening in scary, dangerous and important bits of the world.

Brickbats to any scumbags who seek to celebrate or justify these deaths. Particularly if they aren’t themselves murderous Arab terrorists.

Update: That’d be like these scumbags, then. I can’t quite bring myself to check LGF…
