Yes, quite odd if one presumes the reporter is a Westerner. 70 yards would put the reporter in another convoy or on his own and they don't have the assets to assemble their own. In Iraq there's a reason why some reporters are fresh on the scene and are never attacked by insurgents, it's because they are the insurgents. It's common knowledge actually. They then freelance their video to the MSM and are even defended by some asshats on FR.
dims are not the only enemies we have that post on FR.
