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.

This is unbelievable! Why aren't they better armed if they're going to do such a ridiculous thing.

They could still be prepared, no law says they can't change to combatants (sp?) when under fire!

The Pentagon is watching though. It would suck if they had to divert someone on a mission to save unembedded reporters.

Where is the rest of the convoy?????

They're catching up now....all vehicles accounted for. A few bullet holes in windows, that's all.

This guy is a moron. This reporter is trying to BE the news. You can't just stop someone on the street in Iraq and believe what they tell you.
