sad - this is a risky assignment even for the well-protected. Russians honor no’rules of engagement’ no ‘cease fires’ no humanitarian evacuation routes, nor the sanctity of houses of worship or hospitals no regard for being cited for ‘war crimes’ anyone who chooses to cover the story is a target. i feel for his family and i don’t care who credentialed him. humanity, people. humanity.
Its how Richard Engel got his job with NBC; he went to live in Baghdad before GW Bush began his war with Shtick and Awe. The bombing began and NBC had no one on site so there was Engel; he did a credible job but like most who join that network became one-sided political after that.
