Simon on FOX says it was the 16th floor...Simon Nicole's (sp?) was one of the reporters up there for Reuters... she's been taken to the hospital. A Polish cameraman has also been seriously injured. Four Reuters crew totals.

palestine Hotel is on the east side; seemed like the German reporter said the building was hit on its southeast side.

Baghdad Bob says IRaqi commanders were getting ready to repulse our attack; fedeyeen on the way; Iraqis were surrounding US forces in Baghdad and the US forces were getting hysterical and bombing civvy targets.

Uh, Bob- if we were doing it because we were "hysterical".. then what is the Fedeyeen's excuse for attacking civilians?

Simon says it is still not clear who hit the building.

Baghdad Bob is crying about killing civilians... pretty good for a guy whose national policy centers on it.

Reporter asks him about American tanks, says he ought to surrender or sue for peace

Bob says "No, we will repulse them"

Funny how Baghdad Bob came out hours early to give a spiel. Maybe he was worried about opinion after the big B-1 decapitation raid, and had to come out to continue the charade. At least by the question it's obvious the reporters have had enough of the charade.

Fox said Bob mentioned Bob said there was a helicopter strike on the press building- I didn't catch it?
