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.

Look at this thread John just put up:
CNN correspondent Brent Sadler and his convoy of seven vehicles came under fire on Sunday when they entered Saddam Hussein's hometown of Tikrit.
Came under fire? It looked to me like they BEGGED for it!

Perhaps they lost the satellite connection because of the high speeds(70mph+)
Or perhaps they got word that the 'head wound' is more serious.
Just went to that goofball British anchor.

Those are CNN's version of technical vehicles.
