In this episode, we will listen in as the news covers the events in real time. CNN has its crew literally on the ground in Bagdad as events unfold and they continue to cover it all live.
We will listen to a full interview with CNN star reporter Peter Arnette in his interview with the Academy of Television as he describes what it was like on the ground in Iraq, and what it felt like to be the last reporter in town.
Then we will listen as CBS News covers the estimated damages of that first night of action as we start the Operation that would eventually free Kuwait.
