Remember when Mike Wallace famously said that he wouldn't warn American troops of an impending ambush? Some young, impressionable journalists apparently were listening:

COALITION SOLDIERS QUESTION NEWS MEDIA FOLLOWING ROADSIDE BOMB

MOSUL, Iraq - Coalition soldiers questioned two news media cameramen and a reporter after a roadside bomb exploded near a Coalition convoy two kilometers north of Mosul June 3.

The media, who were at the scene prior to the attack, told soldiers at the scene they had received a tip to be at that location prior to the attack and they had witnessed the explosion.

There was minimal damage to a Coalition vehicle, a cracked windshield, and no serious injuries.

3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division soldiers requested the media accompany them to a base camp in Mosul to answer questions as witnesses to the incident. The news media representatives left the base camp in the mid afternoon.

I sure the enterprising reporters were disappointed that they weren't rewarded with more spectacular footage of the violent deaths of their fellow Americans. After all, the enemy is only going to give you so many chances to pick up a cheap Pulitzer.
