Rita is out of control. She doesn't even know what she is saying, bless her heart.
David Asman talking to Rick Leventhal at ~ 12:18 (posted at 12:22) EST today:
David: "Who is responsible for ongoing explosions in Baghdad?"..."May well be Iraqi missile strikes...huge explosion, continues to burn, one report is that it's from the Al Rasheed Hotel...(showing live shots from Abu Dhabi TV.)
Rick Leventhal:..."these guys are in danger in every step they take within Baghdad...we know there are forces out here that are trying to kill (our guys)...they must remain vigilant, very, very cautious....
David Asman: "According to Iraqi Info sources...Iraqi forces have targeted US snipers at the Al Rasheed Hotel.." "that may be some trouble for journalists who are still hanging out in Baghdad"....
Baghdad Bob lied again.
If Rita had reported this from Baghdad...methinks the generals would have escorted her back to the states. She really gave away a lot of information (IMHO).
