They were stopped, and outside the vehicle filming. All were wearing protective gear. Exactly who decided to stop in that spot, and get out to film at that place and time? Any mention of anti-American propaganda printed or spoken in English? Too many coincidental occurances. Prayers for the family of the soldier killed, and for those soldiers wounded.
Probably that no autopsy was done and so they are not sure exactly what killed him. He wasn't looking too good in the reports made just before he died. Pretty good reporting of the initial invasion from a grunt's eye view.
Thank you. This war is not going to end any time soon.
Or, in the alternative, maybe some freepers who blame the media for "not reporting all the good stuff in IRaq," might start to understand that Iraq is still a chaotic place and it's DANGEROUS to venture out in search of all this supposed "good stuff" that's happening.
I wonder what the core courses are for that degree?
No, you're part of solution.
Many folks at FR paint with a broad brush. If you really want some abuse, get a law degree.
I know it's a piddling little thing and terribly unimportant in the grand scheme of things compared to a correspondent, but were any GI's injured in this incident?
Not gonna happen. This will reinforce their inbred beliefs.
Many more Iraqis died today and their deaths with be quickly forgotten as the media climbs on it's high horse.
Look at who has died in journalism's "service" so far. It's over whelmingly foreign nationals. And I'd bet they don't get a tehth of what the networks pay their own people.
Thanks, see my #68.
You know that's a good question- and it's unlikely we'll ever know the answer..
Oh man.
There are lots of one-liners for this, but my prayers are for the families of the victims and for the recovery of the wounded.
That said, they might be victims of friendly fire.
Ridiculous statement. Saddam backed down from lots of fights. Remember "Cheat & Retreat"? IOW, it was Saddam's strategy during the sanctions-phase to push the envelope until he got smacked down -- then he'd retreat. Sounds like "Backing Down" to me.
is cbs reporting if it was friendly fire or our troops that did the shooting? i could see the crocodile tears wailing down perky katies make up already.
they were embedded. God bless them and their loved ones.
That's the way I see it, they were taking the same chances
as the troops, not writing from some bar.
May her recovery be short.

"is cbs reporting if it was friendly fire or our troops that did the shooting? "
When you consider CBS is insurgent-friendly, then the answser is yes, it was from a friendly IED.
Very sad. Prayers go out to the loved ones of all who were killed, and for the total recovery of Kimberly!
There was an autopsy done. It also seems that there were warning signs that he didn't follow up on. (see links below) Not saying that he brought this on himself but I don't understand why he is listed in this article. I'm just waiting for them to try and blame it on our troops.
Sorry to get off topic but that bit in the piece just confused me.
