WASHINGTON, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Iraq's U.S. administrator Paul Bremer escaped unharmed when his convoy hit an explosive device and came under fire in Baghdad on December 6th, NBC News reported on Thursday.

In an incident not previously disclosed, NBC said that Bremer was returning from the Baghdad airport when his convoy ran into an explosive device and his personal armored vehicle took small arms fire.

The convoy was able to speed away and no one was injured, NBC said.

The incident, which occurred on the same day U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld arrived in Baghdad, was not reported to the press by Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA), the report said.

1. Is it just my imagination, or have the rest of you noticed

that the "look at all the positive things happening in Iraq" stories have disappeared?

Seems kind of hard to keep up that spin cycle when these attacks keep getting closer to important VIPs (Wolfie, Bremer).

3. What about Wolfie?

Been off the net for a month. Elucidate, please.

4. I just meant the attack on that hotel Wolfie was staying at in Bagdad

a couple months ago (old news).

2. Their censorship isn't working very well.

Only kept it a secret for under two weeks!!

Someone's head's gonna roll.
