A "cameraman" with binoculars and a walkie-talkie connection to his buddies in the bush certainly can be a threat to an armored vehicle, Fernando. Given the documented dispicable acts of Hussein's 'fedayeen', would it be a suprise if he was using the hotel as an observation post or was purposefully attempting to draw U.S. fire to the place?

I don't think an American M1A1 tank from less than a half-mile range hit the fifteenth floor of the Palestine Hotel, killing those journalists. The damage would have been much more sever.
