Molhem Barakat, Syrian Teenager, Dead After Reuters Gave Him a Camera and Used Him as a Stringer

Reuters has a long history of embedding reporters and photographers with insurgents in war zones.

This time, the news company gave a camera to a Syrian teenager whose brother was a rebel fighter.

They both died in December.

Barakat was just 18 when he died, but his images -- transmitted through the Reuters photo service -- gave people across the globe a glimpse into his world, and his country's war. But while his precocious work appeared everywhere from the New York Times to Foreign Policy, his online presence served as a reminder that he was still a teenager. His last tweet brags about unlocking a new level in a computer racing game; his Facebook account is full of smiling selfies.

The Reuters goons are the the same idiots who embedded with Iraqi insurgents, and who were subsequently blown away in a U.S. Apache attack --- the one WikiLeaks first attempted to foist off as a war crime (too bad the purported "civilians" had AKs and RPGs).
