Katie Couric going to Iraq.
CBS executives declined to provide other details about her travels, citing the U.S. military's request that the network withhold specifics about her movements for security reasons.

3. Good one!
I was going to say I hope they keep her, but that might suggest I want something awful to happen to her. I don't. I just want her out of Walter Cronkite's chair!

4. That was my first thought, too!
Over the weekend, C-Span aired a talk by a State Dept. woman who had been in Iraq setting up "communications" (read radio talk shows, etc.). Bet they could use some of lil' Katie's help in getting the propaganda media going over there!

5. I thought she was not going to travel due to her children?
Ratings trump children now?

I'm with the others: Couric can just go and stay. Or keep on going. Doesn't really matter to me. She really doesn't even rate any longer. To most, CBS no longer has an Evening News program.
