Re: you suggestion on VOA/BBC

in my coup experience we had a guy in the hotel who had his damned BBC feed stuck to his ear and pronouncing everything they said as truth.

it was both annoying and ironic, because (a) we were THERE, in the middle of it, and didn;t need no damned BBC reporter telling us what wqas happeneing, and (b) fog of war, nothing they said was accurate, up to date, helpful, or even close to what we were seeing with our own eyes.

we threatened to smash his shortwave if he didn't shut the hell up.

anyway, during fog of war, nobody knows anything, it's just a matter of hunkering down, taking care of yourself, and waiting for it to end.

biggest thing i learned was "Do Not Walk Upright In Hotel Corridor, Crawl."

All of the nice hotels are now south of the old "green line."
