A UK defense correspondent says that, after assessing the damage fron what he caled a "rocket" which killed 3 Reuters correspondents, it couldn't have been a U.S. tank, but an Iraqi missile...so to give Mohamed al-Sayef once last chance to play to the madding Arab streets. BTW, anyone seen him today?

As to that picture yesterday from Abu Dhabi TV, where the camera fell to the rooftop? If they show it again, take a good look at what it was recording just before it dropped...spent rounds from a weapon (small arms) being fired NEXT to, or very close to the cameraman. Apparently someone noticed that, and knocked the correspondent down to stop the view.

Thats what I thought when I first heard this breaking story yesterday Streetsoldier - how do they know it was US forces that fired at the hotel. I hope the evidence proves otherwise and if it was us - they were just in the wrong place at the wrong time - this is war and things like this happen.
