To: I still care
Two London-based members of the CBS News team, veteran cameraman Paul Douglas, 48, and soundman James Brolan, 42, were killed and correspondent Kimberly Dozier, 39, was seriously injured Monday when the Baghdad military unit in which they were imbedded was attacked. They were reporting on patrol with the 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, when their convoy was struck by an improvised explosive device (IED)

No mention of any military casualties (WIA/KIA). Seems unlikely, unless the CBS crew was the specific target of the attackers. Even then, somebody had to be driving the vehicle they were in, and likely someone else, possibly more than one, would be "riding shotgun", perhaps literally. Since my next door neighbor is 4th ID and currently deployed, as are many others in the neighborhood. I've got more than a casual interest in the matter.

It looks like the CBS reporterette and friend HALTED the convoy so they could FILM a report by the side of the road.

Apparently a car bomber saw the stopped convoy as a target of opportunity and drove his car to the location and detonated his bomb while the CBS team was filming.

CBS isn't telling the whole truth about what happened.
