Think this was a wild gamble to improve CNN's ratings?

Seriously, don't feel bad about the "slowing down at a car crash" thing...cajones, Sadler may have, but it also goes without saying that he knew what he was doing (and seeking the ultimate story, and got himself...a pretty damn good one). So the press does it for you...no reason to feel ashamed to watch them do it. I still am hoping with all my might (agnostic, my prayers/hopes are about the same :p) he gets out of there safely (no man is an island, any man's death diminishes me...ask not for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for *thee*, &c).

CNN returning fire is one they'll never live down. Its just something you HAVE to do sometimes. Maybe now they "get it". damn risky.

I can't listen to Hackworth anymore, since the day a couple weeks he referred to Myers (or was it Franks)as a "moron" on Hugh Hewitt's radio show. (Hugh was darn near apoplectic at that characterization, incidentally.)

I really don't. I think it was journalist passion.

The guys told them not to film without permission from the Ba'ath people.. they probably saw the camera up again and started shooting because the guy disobeyed them.

Apparently they are all still alive with one scratch. You do not get a second chance so as I said no way to know what would have happened had they stopped.

Hope it's nothing major...maybe they had to stop to switch drivers if the driver was wounded??

Not one picture of the car that chased them nor one picture of the car that sided them. Fire the camerman. Hire Achmed.

They've changed to another feed. All this time, we've stayed with those guys- and now this guy is rambling, I'm sure he's saying something important...but I need to be back in that car.

Well, as I said before, CNN has less embeds because the military (this is just my take on things) doesn't trust them as much...they tout this as giving them more "unbiased" coverage...but if this was a gamble to improve CNN's ratings, I would say it would start with Sadler gambling with his own life to get the scoop on Tikrit...hat's off to him, still praying for him.

CNN now boasting again about "unilateral journalists", by the way, if you want proof of what I was saying about their embed spin...

They will be lucky to get away. The damn city has been under attack for days and they might be assumed by the enemy to be advance scouts....boom!

Uh, nothing.


Seriously, a CNN reporter decided to go scope out Tikrit on his own...the outskirts were abandoned...inside there were armed guards and they wanted him to go to the Baath party offices to get permission to film...when they left they ran the checkpoint and a car chase ensued with gunfire exchanged...very scary stuff.
