Polish journalists detained in South Ossetia

Warsaw - A Polish television crew was detained in the breakaway Georgian region of South Ossetia on Monday and had their equipment confiscated, local media reported. A reporter and cameraman from Polish Television, along with their Georgian driver, were stopped by Ossetian police before being turned over to Russian soldiers, the Polish Press Agency (PAP) reported. Their equipment - including their mobile phones - were also confiscated. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that if required he would intervene in Moscow and Tbilisi on the matter. The Polish Journalists' Association also sent a letter of protest to Russia's ambassador in Poland, asking for an explanation for the detention. In the Georgian capital Tbilisi, Polish embassy officials told PAP that they're currently talking with the Russians about the detained crew.

serve them rigth, I say. Polish journalists give biased reports from Georgia so if they got scared, there is a little chance they will wise up and stop being America's footkissers.
