Occupational Risk – More on Journalists

Journalist Roxana Saberi will likely be spending the next 8 years in an Iranian prison.   How often we forget, or take for granted,  some of the amazing rights we have in the US.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
— The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution

I have been sensitive to the plight of journalists worldwide working in hostile environments since my offshore insurance days.  If you want to learn more I’ve added a new link category titled Occupational Risk that includes a link to a website with 17 years worth of data on dead journalists.

We hard core underwriters love this kind of stuff.
