Journalists Killed By Tank Fire In Baghdad

tanker: We saw something long and black in the window, pointing at us. I looked through the thermal imager and it was warm. They’d been using it.
reporter: Didn’t you worry about making a mistake?
tanker: I looked up the building in the National Register of Historic Sites. Not there.
reporter: And how did you feel?
tanker: I hadn’t slept for three days, but adrenaline keeps you going. Anyone who goes into a war zone knows what could happen, I mean anyone.
reporter: But how did you feel about what you’d done?
tanker: Sir, based on the grilling I’ve gotten today, information weapons are the most powerful. It’s no wonder we lost that battle.
