Geraldo Rivera reporting from Libya truly demonstrates the great lengths he will go in order to report a story, as he found himself in the middle of crossfire between an "unruly gang" of Libyan rebels and the professional snipers from Gaddafi's forces. Geraldo quickly ducks for cover, and the brave crew keeps the camera rolling.
Rivera described the chaotic experience:
"It was a wild, wild scene. And I was as worried about getting shot in the back by the good guys, as I was about getting shot in the front by the Gaddafi forces."
Also with his on-the-ground knowledge, Rivera provides a startling assessment of the "rebel army," suggesting they "have the fire discipline of an L.A. street gang." As a result, Rivera advises against NATO or America arming the rebels, because if the rebels had more weapons, Geraldo predicts they would be a "grave danger to themselves and others [since] they don't know how to use these weapons."
