I absolutely LOVE the soldier and the children singing. I keep recording it on my VCR each time it comes on. I believe it is on about 1:15pm est and 3:15pm est. as well as other times. So cute. Seeing Reagan on there talking was GREAT! What class.

Dr. Bob Arnot on the roof of the Palestine hotel... just spoke with a US Intelligence officer. He asked him about the firefight/sniper action last night. Turns out the guys they took into custody were NOT the shooters, they just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Dr. Bob then asked him what were the three most interesting intelligence things he had learned in the last 24 hours. The guy said "you're going to put me on the spot." Bob said "Ok, the last 48 hours then." The guy said Ok, here's something unclassified:

Three stores were open that the soldier saw: a restaurant, a shop selling posters, and something else. Traffic has increased alot.

Dr. Bob Arnot telling this soldier that someone local Iraqi knows where one of the 55 most wanted is located. The soldier said they hear stuff like that all the time, that so-and-so knows where weapons are, where regime members are, where WMD are, etc.

So Dr. Bob asked if they ever found any WMD, and the guy said "Well.... I'll let somebody else answer that."

Then Dr. Bob did his on-air report: The locals say this is definitely NOT Beruit - they are sick of war, and they are looking forward to starting over and moving forward.

Much of the rest of his report was upbeat, and he even said things are going really well in Baghdad.

Every afternoon there is a meeting of everyone who is interested to coordinate where stuff goes - where are the watehouses, etc. Dr. Bob sits in the meetings because he's on the Board of Directors for International Save the Children.

Holy cow... after giving a really positive report and signing off, he said to the guy off camera (who I assume was the same Intelligence officer)... "What did you think?" The guy says it was good, and Bob says "I think I wasn't pro-Marine enough."

We love you Dr. Bob!!

Baghdad Bob has been a bad boy....

AMMAN, Jordan, April 14 (UPI) -- A Jordanian journalist said Monday that Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Said al-Sahhaf threatened to cut off his hands over a report on the advance of U.S. forces on Baghdad.

Majed Abdel Hadi, a correspondent for the Qatari al-Jazeera television, told United Press International that al-Sahhaf, who has vanished since American troops entered Baghdad last week, stormed the channel's offices in Baghdad and threatened to cut off his hands and dump him in the desert if he kept on reporting that the U.S. forces were approaching the Iraqi capital.

Abdel Hadi said al-Sahhaf "accused me of being a U.S. agent and asked me to deny the content of my reports."

Abdel Hadi arrived in Amman a few days ago with the body of his colleague Tarek Ayyoub who was killed last Tuesday during the U.S. bombing of al-Jazeera office in Baghdad.
