While Les Moonves was at the Grammy's rubbing elbows with Beyonce and Jay- Z, his news team was busy getting kidnapped in Iraq

What, if anything is going through CBS CEO Les Moonves's mind at this very moment now that he's gotten word that a couple of CBS News staffers were kidnapped in Iraq while on assignment in an effort to land him ratings? Does CBS stay out of it and let our State Department handle it or do they pay off a hunt and hit squad to go find them? OK that’s a bit much…kinda. This is just one of the many dangers that await reporters seeking to break the next big story out of Iraq.

"Two journalists working for CBS News in Basra are missing. All efforts are under way to find them and until we learn more details, CBS News requests that others do not speculate on theidentities of those involved," the spokeswoman said. CBS News has been in touch with the families and asks that their privacy be respected."
