Wow, what a bunch of arrogant bastards of the press. Do they think that having "TV" on their vehicle makes them immune to war? They were warned before the war that nonembedded reporters were in danger. Shortly before the incident, they were warned again that it was dangerous to go ahead. Yet, "They were so relaxed they wore neither helmets nor flak jackets".
Well guess, what? Our Marines were right. The reporters did run into trouble and by the time they realized their mistake, it was too late. I only feel sorry for the widows and children they created by their own stupidity, not to mention our own Marines who were seriously injured trying to check up on these irresponsible journalists.
I nominate these reporters for the 2003 Darwin Award. Driving at high speed towards our tanks from enemy territory in an active war zone is suicidal.
