If it were me, I would have been on a plane home yesterday.

An NPR correspondent and three members of NPR's Iraqi staff narrowly escaped an apparent assassination attempt in Baghdad on Sunday after a hidden "sticky" bomb exploded underneath their parked, armored BMW.

The car exploded in a pillar of flame and was totally destroyed. No one was injured in the attack.

The bombing took place during a brief NPR reporting trip to western Baghdad's battle-scarred Rabiye Street.

I was just about to post this myself.

"Suddenly, Iraqi soldiers ran up screaming 'bomb' in Arabic and pointing at the parked BMW. They blocked oncoming traffic, and an Iraqi officer named Lt. Mohamed Jabbour physically pulled one of our drivers away from the parked car," he writes. "Seconds later, the BMW exploded and burst into flames some 15 feet from us."

No one was injured in the blast. NPR says local police detained an egg vendor in connection with the attack.

But didn't YawnPharisee tell us that all the liberal reporters were relaxing in their hotels in Jordan? How could this happen?

No blue font needed.

The liberal media is too busy focusing on the wire reports from Iraq...from a safe spot in Amman.
