Jamie McIntyre: "Me at the Friday gates news conference in Iraq, as what appears to be a brief but intense firefight breaks out behind us just as Gates is speaking about "getting violence under control". Take a look at my face. Later the Pentagon tried to say it was only Iraqi troops taking "target practice." The truth is they didn't know what it was and neither did we. It was more than a mile away, but sounded pretty "spontaneous and unrehearsed." |
