Many journalists arrested in Egypt. Christine Amapour is one of them.

[Paper Roses]

She is on my list of most admired people. Smart and brave. I fear for her and the others too. What a job to have.
It was said that Anderson Cooper was attacked twice. I saw a picture on-line of a journalist and his cameraman being trod upon my Mubarak's goons on horseback.

I feel so badly for the people of Egypt. Even if Mubarak goes today, are they organized enough to put together a new government?

1. egypt will be fine -- sans mubarak.

i don't know why people persist in thinking egyptians are near barbarians incapable of forming a government.

2. Christiane is my all time favorite...

And has been in my #1 slot since the passing of Walter Cronkite. This is terrible news.

God be with her, please.

More communication devices in the wrong hands! Beware.

3. Christine Amapour has been arrested? nt

[Cleita]

4. I doubt if any harm will come to her. She's too well

known and her husband is still a powerful American.

7. I fell for an incorrect post yesterday...

...not this time - I'm gonna do a google search...

[sufrommich]

10. I just did, not finding anything. nt

13. NOT arrested - stopped and questioned but allowed to go on her way:

Minutes after receiving news that Hartman had been safely released, ABC News anchor Christiane Amanpour and her team were surrounded and interrogated by a threatening crowd in Cairo when they were en route to the presidential palace to interview Mubarak and Vice President Omar Suleiman.

The alarm was sent back to ABC News headquarters in Cairo in a series of quick comments during a phone call. "We're in trouble on the bridge," was all that was initially said. The bridge is on the same road where Hartman and Abi-hanna were carjacked.

Moments later, the ABC News staffer said, "They're surrounding us."

Then cryptically, "We have to go."

Amanpour and her team were allowed to proceed, but it was the second time in two days that her team has been targeted by groups of men angry with foreign coverage of the demonstrations that are demanding President Hosni Mubarak end his 30-year rule by stepping down immediately.

Another deceiving OP - "you can fool me once, shame on... um shame on... can't get fooled again!"

5. She interviewed Mub at his palace today.

If its true, pretty clear no one's in control there now.

6. Do you have a link for this? Please? We knew she was attacked yesterday,

but this is new, and frightening. Link, please?

[Paper Roses]

17. I guess I own an apology. I was channel surfing this afternoon

and heard the comments about Christiane being within the groups that had been detained. Don't know what network it was. Lesson to me: Don't post until confirmed.
Sorry folks.

[JuniperLea]

8. I'm not finding anything on this...

When did you hear this and from where? Quite distressing... she's one of the best.

[cbdo2007]

9. Journalists can't be protected amidst chaos.

[highplainsdem]

11. Nothing about Amanpour being arrested on Google News or Twitter, and she's tweeted

that she'll be on Nightline tonight.

12. while many have indeed been arrested

I have not found any links including twitter.

And yes BBC has lost gear, AJ too, Al Arabya crews report it is more dangerous than Gaza and Lebanon... thousands have been beaten and arrested, per Al Jazera right now.

[Dennis Donovan]

14. She wasn't arrested - she was questioned - big difference!
