Exactly, thank you! They seemed to only have 1 guard and only he was armed. That doesn't make any sense at all, at least to me.

At one point, Sadler identified the vehicle with the rear windows shot out as a "security vehicle." Plus, he had an armed security guy (with a "machine gun") in his vehicle.
It sounds like they had several weapons in the convoy, and it makes sense that the security car took most of the fire as it would have been firing back.
So, I hope they are safe, but it seems like CNN went in well armed and got themselves into a firefight.
Media people got upset because Geraldo hinted that he was "totin" - will CNN give itself the same criticism?
