Again, your timeline is skewed. She returned AFTER the government fell to cover the celebrations and was attacked by a mob. Journalists were fleeing BEFORE the government fell as they were being detained and harassed by the government and their supporters.

Edit: And to use your analogy, it is like going into the Gulf of Mexico in still waters after Katrina and getting caught in an oil slick.
My timing isn't skewed. Her team was pulled from the country for safety coincerns and than ran back after the fall of the government to likely be one of the first back on the scene.

Clearly they underestimated the resistance they would encounter and didn't take the appropriate precausions, or they just didn't care in an effort to get the story.
