| Ever wanted to interrogate a CBS War Correspondent? |
| 2005-10-11 |
| Want to know what a journalistâs life is like in a war zone? Well, hereâs your chance because this weekâs 10 plus 1 features CBS London producer and sometimes âactingâ Baghdad Bureau chief Randall Joyce. If youâve ever wanted to question a wartime reporter, your wait is over. Aside from having spent large amounts of time in Iraq before, during and after the U.S. invasion, Joyce covered the Northern Alliance in Afghanistan prior to the fall of the Taliban, has covered wars in Bosnia and Kosovo, elections and coup attempts in Russia and much, much more. As you know, each week we ask 10 questions of our weekly subject, then throw open the floor for your submissions. Weâll sort through them and pick one for Randall to answer, so cast your eyes overseas and send him your questions. Please, no more questions about the hotel bar. |

| #4 Yeah, I actually sent those in, despite your admonishment no more bar questions :) So, guess that makes me a rebel... |

| #3 Q1: is tipping the bartender required at the hotel bar, and if so, what is the normal percentage ? Q2: do you recommend scarfing up the free bar snacks whenever you can as a good way to stretch your per diem ? Q3: do you write your copy after carefully checking the facts by ensuring that there are 2 corroborating journalists in the bar ? Or 3 ? |

| #1 The Green Zone is no more a war zone than South Central in LA is. |
