Interesting live footage on CNN

Posted on 04/12/2003 9:27:32 PM PDT by saquin

CNN reporter Brent Sadler traveling on a road very near Tikrit. The retired military officer in the studio keeps telling him to be careful. I find these live shots very nerve-wracking. It seems rather foolish for a reporter to be doing this, considering that Tikrit is a Saddam stronghold. Just a heads-up in case anyone is interested.

Their guard opened fire on the people shooting at them and they were able to leave!

Sadler said their guard fired at the checkpoint. Not a good idea.

Are you watching CNN or just reading the thread?

First time this guy has ever been under such close fire in his career.

they are driving fast now, I hope they know their way back. But back to where? What to stop some people from following them back to the CNN convoy.

So far they are okay. Their gunman pulled out his machine gun to get them through the Baathist checkpoint. Sadler said 'That's all for today.'

Unconfirmed reports there are attempts by TELEVISION sources trying to negotiate a surrender?

Does that what he said?
