The journalists did not hear one shoot 15 minutes preceeding the incident.

The explanations by the Pentagon:
First reason given : There shots being fired from the hotel.

Later in the day 2nd reason : Some people of the regime are residing in the hotel.

Finally, at the end of the day : The regime's people have armed bodyguards.

Frankly, if they were fired at, why did they change their reasons after?? Will there be a full investigation?

Yu agree with me there should an investigation, no? I understand Fog of War, not Fog of Justice.

Yes, I agree with your concern. I don't think the soldiers should be put on the burner here.

I think the investigation should look at the dangers of reporters in combat zones and then impart ways to make it less deadly to them.

Just keep in mind the nature of combat is that bad things always happen.
