Why Misurata?  Because it is the stepping stone to kill Gaddafi.  The Libyan dictator isn't giving up with a white flag.  This is not an 'embed' opportunity.  Journalists are armed with the art of communication, not anti-tank weapons or assassin scopes.  Give the English speaking Libyan  rebel soldiers a small hand held camera and edit the results.  A helmet cam or something.  Don't do this.
