If i recall correctly , both Arnett and Shaw were in Baghdad at the time.
They did their live report from under the bed in a hotel room.
They also refused to be debriefed by the US military upon their return, saying the usual BS about they being above country loyalties"' etc.
At that point I was so appalled I never had any reason to watch CNN again. Now one of the debates will be anchored by that Candy Crowley who was having a tizzy fit on air about Paul Ryan not having a TIE on, when announced last weekend. SHE was chosen? WHY and the GOP/RNC says we are overreacting. As Paul Ryan continues to say - you are either part of the problem or part of the solution. Well folks - WE need to be part of the solution. Let's get on this - volunteer do what you can for victory in November.
There is actually a pretty interesting conspiracy theory about CNN being in Iraq back in the day. Some funny youtube videos of off camera moments that make it look a little...well...its funny whether true or not.
