Personally, I think these "correspondents" just sit around the hotel bar there at the Palestine and suck down drinks while collaborating on which lies they're going to tell that day in order to support their Hate Bush / Hate America agenda.
That Arab woman journalist from Al-Arabia was actually out at Samarra - when she was killed. There have been a record number of journalists killed in Iraq, so the poor security situation is one reason for "bar-room" reporting.
Wouldn't doubt that for a second.
Wonder if anyone gets pics...
