In the early days of the troops in Bagdad, one of the big hotels was attacked. IIRC NBC's Richard Engel was the reporter who sent his driver downstairs (where the action was) to get the news reports. Engel stayed upstairs (safety) and made his broadcasts from there.
There were FR threads about it when it was revealed. Engel may have been employed by CNN at the time. IIRC, he changed employers a couple of years ago.
That was about the time he was annointed with the nomenclature: Chicken Richard.

Those threads were hysterical.
IIRC, didn't Chicken Richard oversleep during Shock and Awe and then fudge his report to cover that fact ?
