Editor's special note: The list shown above is extremely limited, it only covers journalist killed in Iraq by direct US military action, it must be noted that many of the "death squads", governmental and non-governmental units that exist in Iraq operate with US sanction and support.  Therefore many of the journalists killed in Iraq may be casualties of indirect US action.
