2. I remember that blog from Bagdhad where a western worker

said that she used to make fun of the westerners who felt the need to travel with escorts or armed soldiers... and then she said that her driver told her that it would be better to leave... she could feel the palpable resentment in the people.

3. What do you want to bet they weren't "embedded"

Which in Bushevik Eyes makes the Enemies of the State who they would either stand back and watch them killed OR do it themselves (were they covering the shadow Bushevik Task Force 20 that is used for PsyOps and Pravda Ops, I wonder?) maybe.

6. You know this means even LESS coverage

As news organizations pull reporters out and the ones that are left don't venture very far from the press room(s).
