Dan Rather is reporting some sort of explosion inside 101st Airborne tents ... at least six soldiers injured ... no reports of any killed at this moment ... unknown if attack or accident ... developing ...

And how would the culprit know they were leadership? Don't the troops go without rank insignia when in battle so as to avoid the leaders being captured? My dh could tell me but he's not available right now.

Sgts. don't run around with a trail of aides and bodyguards behind them.

Tony Snow on FNC says they just confirmed this story and will be back with a report when they have live audio on it.

Retired general on MSNBC thinks they are going to try and hit our supply lines..

Here is something to think....

Wonder if they wore American uniforms..

[Endeavor]

thanks for the head up on MSNBC

[cgk]

According to her "sources" right?

[RightWingMama]

Tony doesn't have the details. Maybe he should logon to FR. Then he could finally report this incident.

[goldstategop]

If it were something serious all the channels would carrying it now. No interruptions on free TV here.

S-2 Intel Officer, S-3 Operations, usually where the same hat, should know plans.

[Scott from the Left Coast]

One of the bad aspects about advertising so broadly and so constantly that we are attempting to avoid civilian casualties (and that our societies get so upset about civilian casualties) is that we open ourselves to assymetrical or guerrilla warfare conducted by those who pass as civilian -- I thought this the other day when Diogenesis posted a photo of Iraqi prisoners being taken who had civilian clothes on over their uniforms.

We are inviting these tactics, and that won't be lost on our enemies.

[Conservababe]

Pray that Lacy can get his line back on. Gunshots and then nothing....

[abner]

I'm amazed they don't watch FR more closely.

[amom]

Ahh yes...I had brothers...and friends from USMCAS El Toro. Held my breath forever it seems. *sigh*

[cgk]

Bret Baier reporting on this FNC now - 10 wounded in grenade or small arms attack on leadership tent.

[deport]

Some reports on MSNBC said there were contractors in the camp... so may have been someone(s) acting as a contractor... who knows at this stage

[goodnesswins]

LOL...they probably DO "watch FR"....it's just that they are trying to "report", "listen" and be ON Air at the same time!!!

[cherry]

"I'm amazed they don't watch FR more closely"

who says they don't?

[dep]

now, from baer at the pentagon: at least 10 people wounded. he's quoting sly news; pentagon won't say anything until it goes up the chain of command.

saying grenades and small arms fire; obviously vamping. too bad. if they don't know, they shouldn't guess.

[tutstar]

LOL

We are inviting these tactics, and that won't be lost on our enemies.

We should take lessons from the Israelis. They deal with this everyday.

[Crawdad]

Don't you just love gov't k'ors?
