So CBS has finally decided to blow her up.
Good for them.

Obviously an attempt to solve CBS's ratings woes one way or another.

Wouldn’t it be just terrible if she caught a bullet between the ears while reporting live back to the states? Oh, how sad the nation would become...

CBS management probably hoping for a well placed IED or kidnapping.

Katie would be great at entertaining terrorists. Wonder how she would do? Her camera crew could film the entire incident.

The big question looms...will she wear a burka?

Maybe she can put on a burqa and anchor the Syrian Nightly Nooz.

So, Katie - Live From Baghdad - is she going to 'inbed' with a terrorist cell; a small enclave of insurgents? Interview the Mother's of suicide bombers?

But really; she is not going to like this. . .being around all our Military. Probably gets a chill; just thinking about it. But I hope she stays safe; and appreciate that CBS is sharing little so as to protect her security.

(Of course, if it were secret troop movements they could disclose for a 'ratings bump'; that would be just fine.)

This idiot for some strange reason I can't begin to comprehend gets about 14 million dollars a year to read leftist propaganda.

I'd rather watch 365 different ordinary American read the news, a different one every night and each could get paid about $37,000.

Way better ratings to boot.

Different source so this one isn't a duplicate. You should be complaining about the three from Variety:

CBS sending Couric to Iraq, Syria

CBS Sending Couric To Iraq (One Way Ticket?)

CBS sending Katie Couric on high-risk tour of Syria and Iraq

She must be trying to avoid the “firing squad”.

Burka? Her orders from CBS are to go out wearing really short skirts and crop tops and talk to the local imams.
