Give it a rest... This was the Iraqi government's announcement. Should CNN just ignore them?
Some people have a horrible persecution complex and think the media is always out to get them...
Welcome to Free Republic.
You should consider the source (CNN) and the timing of their story.
If you read the article you will see that it has not been confirmed and is only a possibility, not for certain, and yet it makes their "Breaking on CNN" banner on the day of the election? I take it you defend CNN before considering the facts.
Maybe take the time to consider all the info before replying.
Have a nice stay.
Looks like we have a CNN apologist in our midst! You guys replied on his/her earlier (now locked) thread on the subject.
