I feel a little less sorry for the translator, he probably had a better appreciation of the risk than anyone.
Freelance journalists should be free to go where they please, but in doing so, they shouldn't expect any sort of special treatment when things don't work out as planned.

Well, if they didn't want to be placed in harm's way by irresponsible civilians, they shouldn't have joined the military. There will always be irresponsible civilians, right? So they assumed the risk.
I guess I don't understand the point of feeling less or more bad for people based on how culpable you think they are. Call me a hippie freak, but I really don't think anybody should be kidnapped, tortured, killed, or have otherwise horrible things happen to them, for any reason.
