They wanted Bourdain dead because he was going to rat out somebody, IMO.
Exactly! A bit more complcated that that but in a nutshell you have it.
Problem is the whole thing which was at least two hours worth was extremely well done. Too well done for CNN. My question has become how did they put something like that together so well, so quickly, only hours after Bourdain's '"SUICIDE" if they didn't know it was going to happen?
Makes no sense. CNN went from a third rate network to a world class production almost overnight with virtually no time to put it together.
A truly amazing coincidence.
