    Fox News Sunday, Interview With President Bill Clinton, 9/22/06 (Rough Transcript) WALLACE: In a recent issue of the New Yorker you say you’re sixty years old and you’re worried about how many lives you can save…Is that what drives you in your effort to help?

    That way we can control it. The Government can ration it out in a sensible, considerate manner. The people who deserve it and the people who do not|will not. The drug lords, hit men, kingpins and gangsters will all be out of business. I mean, how can they sustain business if murder is regulated by the government?

    <p>CNN's top war correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, says that the press muzzled itself during the Iraq war. And, she says CNN "was intimidated" by the Bush administration and Fox News, which "put a climate of fear and self-censorship."</p> <p>As criticism of the war and its aftermath intensifies, Amanpour joins a chorus of journalists and pundits who charge that the media largely toed the Bush administrationline in covering the war and, by doing so, failed to aggressively question the motives behind the invasion.</p>
