->> Tyler did an interview last week which was very prophetic....he said the libyan conflict was the most dangerous thing he had ever covered, and that is a pretty serious statement from a guy who's covered some of the most dangerous conflicts on the planet over the past decade. I hope he turns up in one piece, he's a great guy and a credit to our profession.

That interview (on "Lens" I believe) was exactly what I was thinking of when I saw this report. Talking about being so close to the front lines, without much regulation of media access (especially from the rebel's side)...that was incredible. I, too, hope they all turn up safely...

"A female war photographer from the New York Times revealed tonight how she was repeatedly sexually assaulted during her nightmare hostage ordeal in Libya.

Lynsey Addario was one of four Times journalists have now been released after being held captive by pro-Gaddafi forces.

During their six-day detainment, the Americans were beaten and threatened with being decapitated and shot."
