I watched Brent Sadler's live coverage, ahead of coalition forces, from 12:00 am to 3:00 am early this morning on CNN. This independent reporter was shot at several times as he raced through checkpoints in Tikrit, Iraq, in search of a story that was being shown live all over the world. No live link as good news of the 7 POW's found alive has bumped his report off of CNN's site. But, that's certainly fine with everyone. You couldn't know how much news I watch and read. Bordering on obsessed.
"They tied my hands behind my back and threw us in a truck and said that they were going to take us to Tikrit, to the intelligence headquarters. At that point, our translator said, "If they take you to the headquarters of the intelligence service, you're certainly going to die. You'll be executed." Kevin Sites of CNN barely escaped with his life Friday in Kirkuk, Iraq. I've noticed that my husband has gone from Engineer on the Hellbound Train to Captain Bringdown and the Buzzkills, as he talks to our daughter this morning. No matter how hard you try to avoid it, you'll always be uncool to your kids. And this uncool Mom really needs to do her taxes very soon---blog a little; file my taxes. That's the plan. After I putter around outside with some yard work.
