Engel was the only journalist traveling with the convoy - nice score for NBC. If you missed it, check online; I'm guessing that MSNBC will have all of it available for interwebs viewing. Most of the coverage was during Rachel and Keith's shows, so check there first.

I was glued to the tube with this, too. LOL... and I was so mad that Rachael & Chris were out again! I can't stand it when they are gone!!
For me, this was very important coverage as some good questions were posed about what was really accomplished and how the people of Iraq feel right now.
My stomach churned a lot in thinking about all of our trrops that died and were hurt there along with the people of Iraq. And yes, the money spent for this war that was based upon fabrications of lunatics.
Also wondering how long of a break do the combat troops that just left will have off before being sent to Afghanistan? Kind of a bitter-sweet feeling throughout my watching this.
