What protective equipment was provided (armor, helmets, etc)? Who are the maunfacturers and what are the model numbers? Was that equipment state of the art?
Was the CBS team provided with weapons, personal security or medical aid by CBS? If so why not? Were the CBS News team taught first aid? Why were two of the team members British nationals? What is the percentage of Americans that CBS News sends in harm's way? If under 50% why? Did CBS News arrange for adequate insurance for members of the team, especially the foreign nationals? Who paid for that insurance, CBS or the team members? Who paid for their armor, helmets, first aid kits, if provided? Who in CBS News is in charge of personal security for news teams? How often are security measures reviewed? What are those security measures? Does CBS News know if their staff includes any spies? How do they know? Who at CBS News screens local nationals and what operational security meausres are used by CBS News to protect information? Before Monday's attack, the Committee to Protect Journalists had put the number of journalists killed in Iraq at 69. Of those, nearly three-quarters were Iraqis, the New York-based group said. Why? How much is the average salary paid Iraqi employee by CBS News? Are they provided with healthcare? Insurance?
What are the duties of Iraqi nationals called "fixers"? PLEASE CONFINE THIS THREAD TO QUESTIONS FOR CBS NEWS OR EXPANDING ON QUESTIONS ALREADY SUGGESTED. Thanks.
This whole incident is very fuzzy.
Why did they leave their armored vehicle?
These are going to be three hellacious Workers Comp claims.
Excellent bit of dramatic irony.
Are any CBS employees illegal immigrants?
Doc, I'm sorry to report that my as yet unconcieved grandchildren's, great grandchildren will be old and gray before those questions are even contemplated for an answer by See.B.S.
VERY good questions Doc, which they'll never give us answers to!
""All we're being told is that they'd been stopped, the convoy, and gotten out of their vehicle due to something described only as a curious incident..."

Curious Incident?
Who at CBS cleared the news team to go out?
why is there a cover up and WHY WERE WE NOT INFORMED BEFORE THE ATTACK
"Didja ever notice that some reporters are dumb and don't take cover?"
Will the military be allowed to photograph and publish photos of the coffins.
* Was there an attempt to cover up this event?
* Who at CBS was first notified?
* How many minutes did it take for that person to get off the Golf Course?
THIS COULD BE REALLY BIG!!
" Why were two of the team members British nationals?"
Why is this relevant to anything ?
Will the CEO attend the funerals?
US citizens might have been more careful.
What did CBS News know, and when did they know it?!
