The Iraqis were supposed to take them out there to see that the Coalition wasn't there...According to a German reporter calling in to FNC, the Iraqis didn't take them to the airport, but to a battle scene where they supposedly took out a U.S. tank. According to the reporter (who's been surprisingly uncensored), the tank was disabled and abandoned, and taken out by a coalition bomb before the reporters got there.
It's at the point when you have to wonder how the non-Arab reporters are going to get out of there. This German guy hinted last night that they might not be free to leave.

The tank was on fire and I saw someone, perhaps the tank commander throw a grenade into the open turret, so they may not have bombed it. I did not see a crater when they showed the burnt out hulk.

I told my dad last night I thought they would probably take the reporters to an unused airport somewhere.

"This German guy hinted last night that they might not be free to leave." Wonder how many German citizens'll be moved by that

Chris Jumpelt is the reporters name. The Iraqi's don't realize he is reporting when he calls. They think he is just using the phone. Notice when he calls it is in the middle of the night Baghdad time. They have strictly warned reporters not to report for Foxnews.

In fact, you could see in his video footage when it was abandoned. For the Iraqis to claim they captured it is pathetic. The tank was deliberately left behind and disabled, and all the Iraqis did was find it sitting there.
