New York Times in Iraq: Blackwater shot our dog

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - The U.S. embassy in Iraq is investigating another deadly shooting incident involving its Blackwater bodyguards -- this time of the New York Times's dog.

The story goes on to explain that the dog was messing with some bomb-sniffing dogs.
"The K-9 handler made several unsuccessful attempts to get the dog to retreat, including placing himself between the dogs. When those efforts failed, the K-9 handler unfortunately was forced to use a pistol to protect the company's K-9 and himself."
Moral of the story: It's best not to mess with those who are trying to protect you from terrorism. A moral long lost on the New York Times, but one that will, perhaps, be reinforced at some point in the future now that the new Times building in New York has become one of the most prominent on the skyline.
