A Moment of Silence for Latest Journalists Killed Under Fire: Marie Colvin & Remi Ochlik

Reporters working in Homs, which was been under siege since Feb 4, have become increasingly concerned in recent days that President Bashar al-Assad’s forces have “locked on” to their satellite phone signals and targeted the buildings they are coming from. - The Telegraph of London

Two journalists now are known to be dead, with others wounded in attacks in Syria. Photographer Remi Ochlik lost his life. Reporter Marie Colvin - one of the best and the bravest ever - also is dead. A moment of silence, please, for these latest additions to that ethereal body of brave journos who watch, now, from the other side. 

Here is Colvin's final report out of Syria.
