Please have mercy on us dial up limited FReepers! Limit the big graphics, post links instead. A brief description of what the graphic is would help:

To all who helped this get started, thank you! Special thanks to null and void for keeping these threads running on the weekends, Mo1 for the screamer, the AdminMods for their tolerance, mhking for the video links, and, of course,...

[Straight Vermonter]

Think sat pics not aerials.

[this_ol_patriot]

Old retired farts..hehe that's what Ollie called FNC's talking heads.

[Robert A Cook PE]

"A metal fragment found (given to Fisk by the Iraqi handlers) at the scene by British journalist Robert Fisk carried various markings, including "MFR 96214 09".

[Sacajaweau]

We think alike. I also considered the female driver as possibly being deliberately provocative and causing the incident.

[DollyCali]

Thanks.. an idea for those of you good at this stuff..

A Who's Who primer

divided into

US Govt

Iraqi Govt

US Military

Iraqi Miltary

TV/Radio Anchors

TV/RAdio Reporter

Embedded Reporters

Non related Jack Asses: Hmmm.. Jackson, Clinton, I know a few of these

Written Media Reporters (maybe broken down by country or maybe alphabetically with slash & country - paper/network etc.

Maybe someone has already done this & it is somewhere in another thread.

I haven't seen it though.

Could be added as more names are known. It would be good in chart/exell form but probably couldnt be put on here.. but maybe a webpage that could be amended. I have no ability to put something like this on a sep web page & very limited knowledge of who is who.

Maybe one of you with good resources & access to put in extra page to your own webpage could add this.

BTW - very tired. Red crossed eyes & fingers still not working.... Limited sleep.. Thanks

Does this sound like a good tool?

[AFPhys]

Thanks again for the transcript, RCGirl...

[Daniel Ramsey]

I love it when Ollie reports from the field! he is sometimes humorous but a very resolved person, obvious cause he has been there, done that etc. An idea I just came up with is in the future Ollie is in charge of future embeds, lectures on reporting protocol, how to behave while operations are under, etiqutte to all the officers and such.
FOX made a good decision hiring him.

[DollyCali]

Ok., I do know THAT Tony

[muslims=borg]

Cool....Freep from all fronts !!

[Green]

LOL - yes that would be a good tool...But one thing would need to be added and that would be all the various nicknames that FReepers have given all these people too. Some of them are pretty funny.

Off to work now...you all have a great day! (thanks in advance for all of you that spend the day on and off posting updates, it sure helps those of us that work and get on sporadically throught the day and lurk to see what is going on)

[Carolina]

BagCam back up. Abdul Vila shouting something to someone on the ground.

[Maringa]

I agree that the Russians, even the French are providing the Iraquis with intelligence information (satellite photos). Information could be coming via Syria as well. I almost think that our military is aware of that, and has taken that under consideration.

[steveegg]

These questions from the other reporters are so stupid. Do they really expect that in a time of war, there will be no civilian casualties? Are they really that blind that they can not see that the majority of the civilian casualties are due to tactics being used by the regime? I don't thnk they are that blind, I just think they have an agenda and are hell bent on achieving their objective which is much different than liberating Iraq.

We have a winner. They'd rather have a bunch of Soddomite regimes worldwide.

[Sacajaweau]

I think we could catch their bounces of the satellites and would know real quick and could interfere with it and/or we would file a complaint.

Donkey express works in this country, too. Nothing would surprise me.

[muslims=borg]

Geraldo on with 101st...he said the only thing he will be drawing in the sand is a happy face. LOL !!!!

[Carolina]

Hearing distant booms off the BagCam.

[DollyCali]

Are we able to scramble signals?

Are The sat transmissions primarily the Star Wars from #41's time?

Are there multiple sats transmitting to us? others.

Another area that I am lacking basic info

[steveegg]

You got it. Straw and Powell have been squishy foreign service types who have recently undergone spinal transplants. Whether or not they hold past the Iraq war, I wouldn't want to bet on (though I'd bet against it with some free cash).

[Sacajaweau]

Geraldo will draw a smile face. Great line by Geraldo.

Hey Geraldo: Write NBC and put an X through it, too.

[muslims=borg]

Geraldo was just at a Baath HQ that our troops are using now as an HQ. He said there was a sign that said "Saadam is in your hearts" and our GI's wrote some graffiti over it pertaining to something being up Saddam's rear end !!!!! LOL!! Way to go Geraldo !!
