In reply to the discussion: NBC News Pulls Veteran Reporter from Gaza After Witnessing Israeli Attack on Children [View all]Moostache

On the flipside though, I have to agree that the truth is more likely humanitarian, to get him out of the field after witnessing a truly horrific thing yesterday. The insertion of Richard Engels would not indicate an abdication of the duty to report on the situation, he is top notch as a war zone and foreign corespondent, one of the few remaining journalists in the industry.
I will choose to believe that until more evidence would indicate otherwise...
