I hope an in depth report will be aired soon.I only heard about it here .

[Severa]

This morning? Damn. I was telling my mom about it last night and she hadn't seen a word of it. I'm hoping it breaks today but not holding my breath.

Diane Sawyer has words of the man beating the Saddam poster.

"We are Americans...We are U.S.A.!"

Incredible!

[SaucyCranberry]

The CBSCam is CLOSE UP on that statue...please tell me it's coming down soon...I've been waiting for days to see that thing go...more familiar with the BagCam view than the view out my own window...will stay up way past my bedtime here tonight if I get to see it....

Hey have any of the major media networks said ANYTHING about the childrens prison?

I noticed NOT ONE of the stinking reporters asked ANYTHING to Brig. General about the children being freed from prisons. 90% of their questions/outrage was about the one journalist killed. They make me sick.

[cajungirl]

Nah the networks aren't interested in children's prisons, torture rooms, missing POW's, dead AMericans and Brits,,they want to know about investigations into civilian deaths and the soon to be coming lawsuits against the americans for destroying property, condoning looting and endangering their fat arses.

NTV cam out for a drive

[thedugal]

Isn't that in Revelations?

[Howlin]

Oh, I was wrong -- it wasn't CNN, it was MSNBC

Whew. I though the earth had tipped of its axis.

[Big Bad Bob]

I'm getting on it straight away, but people are giving me dodgy looks...I wonder why?

[luv2ndamend]

Let the looting begin!

[Timeout]

Dr Bob on PMS!

[AppyPappy]

NTV = LootCam

[Howlin]

It may, because I've noticed that the regular media is actually about 24 hours about us on stories like that.

[SamAdams76]

These reporters are as dumb as bags of rocks. Did you hear that dingbat at the end of the press conference? She wanted to essentially know why we didn't investigate every combat action. She even wanted to know if we had plans to "interview" every combat pilot that might have dropped a bomb and to view the videotape from each plane to determine whether or not civilians might have been targeted. She acted as though every U.S. troop is a potential war criminal. What a disgrace.

I think half the questions asked the past two days had to do with our actions at the Palestine hotel. These reporters honestly believe it is all about them. Apparently they are under the impression that this war is being staged to provide them with a story. They want us to guarantee them safety while they lounge around the hotel all day in the middle of Baghdad. I'm surprised they aren't asking if U.S. soldiers can bring them fresh towels and stock their mini-bars as well.

My dog is growling at the dog barking in the background. LOL

[Howlin]

See 1689. No need to panic yet. :-)

[Big Bad Bob]

It's Partytime, people!!!

[cajungirl]

NTV cam is way cool,,,it is incredible.

I liked what Gen'l Vallely last night said -- you should never try to watch a firefight. You MUST seek shelter. Surely someone told these idiots. Of course they did. But to the, it doesn't mean they have to. "You're not the boss of me".

Does Wilkinson have a strip of arabic writing on his shirt pocket? I thought he did yesterday.
