Richard Engel needs to get out of Kabul!!

[MoonRiver]

Why hasn't MSNBC already evacuated him??

[mahatmakanejeeves]

1. I'll bet wild horses couldn't drag him away. It's in his blood. NT

[Lefta Dissenter]

2. I was thinking the same of the CNN reporter 😳 (n/t)

[MoonRiver]

4. Who is it? Haven't been watching CNN this morning.

[Lefta Dissenter]

6. Clarissa Ward

I can’t imagine she’d be treated kindly if the wrong people snag her.

8. Clarissa Ward

The Taliban have already allowed her to film and interview them. I think she’ll be fine.

[Lefta Dissenter]

9. I hope, hope, hope you are right. (N/t)

[XanaDUer2]

12. I saw her report, too and feared for her nt

[MoonRiver]

15. Oh, that is so frightening!

[Arazi]

7. Yes, same with Clarissa Ward

[Klaralven]

3. He'll be fine.

5. Riiiiight, got it

[2naSalit]

10. He probably has an evacuation plan in place...

He knows his way around the region and speaks most of the languages and has connections, he should be okay, even if he stays there.

[WHITT]

11. I Imagine

Engel will catch the last train to Clarksville, so to speak.

[Bev54]

13. CNN reporter Clarissa Ward is still there as well and she is probably at more risk

being a woman.

[W_HAMILTON]

14. He said he went there to specifically cover this.
