whoa soldier. any reports coming out of Baghdad are effectively the same as coming from Tarik Aziz. all reporters there are monitored by minders [ Saddams thugs]. CNN's entire crew was thrown out because the Iraqis got mad they weren't towing the line. the Sky News guy (David Cater[sp?]) is either under severe duress (I heard him threatened the 1st night) or he has gone over to the dark side in order to remain in Baghdad [exclusive]...

Anne Garrells has been reporting from Baghdad for NPR...heard her today. The biggest thing I remember her saying was that the people in Baghdad were pretty much going about their business, because they had faith that our bombs would land where we put them and we weren't targeting civilians.
