Was it really necessary to detain her for apparently standing in the wrong place... where many other reporters were also standing? She produced identification and a press pass and then removed by the officer.

Later they admit she did nothing wrong! That just looks bad, really bad.

Can you imagine what would happen if Wolf Blitzer was reporting live from the Kremlin and suddenly the Russian NKVD grabbed him and took him for a ride?

its well known that russian intelligence pose as journilists.

there is even a phot of putin when he was kgb, near the potus, posed as a photographer.

maybe they were told to look out ofr russians on that paticular day...

Send your Bill O'Reilly over there, hopefully they may reciprocate on a permanent basis.
