#3 Depends on how French vs how American.

#4 The guy was out there filming a documentary about Iraq's archaeological sites. In a war zone. What are the odds that he figured he'd be safe, since he was on the terrorists' side? In the old days, I'd have said - no matter what happens, this guy is an American; he deserves our help. In these post-Michael Moore days, my feeling is that the guy stepped into it all by his lonesome despite warnings from the State Department that only essential personnel should be in Iraq - it's not the military's job to get his butt out of the fire.

#5 RC,

Definition of mixed emotions:

Watching your mother-in-law drive off in a cliff in your brand-new Mercedes.

This definitely falls into that category.

#6 Generally speaking, this means that the only place you'll be able to find a journalist will be either their hotel room or the hotel bar. Definitely Green Zone, if in Baghdad.

Oh, sorry, that was where you had to go to find them before the threat. How, um, uh...
