"Neither CNN nor Christiane Amanpour is aware of alleged eavesdropping by the government on Ms. Amanpour and we are unable to confirm this story. We are looking into it."

What do you think of officers in our miltary that
won't defend our country? That brand of officer,
brought into the service after Viet Nam, that was
infused with a culture of timidity and "CYA", that
sows disaffection?
Name names. I have a hard time seeing a military not doing their duty for this country. Put up or shut up.
Once again, NOBODY CARES what Amanpour says.
I would hope they were listening to her calls, after all her husband is a known close associate of terrorist Hashim Thaci.
Given that she's often outside the US, probably owns some kind of foreign phone for work purposes, and almost certainly is comfortable talking in other languages, I'd say that the only real question is this: Did she speak on the phone with members of Al Qaida. If so, then she was may have been recorded, and rightfully so.
Journalist or not, I don't see any legitimate reason for her to be secretly conversing with agents of Al Qaida. If that's the case, at a minimum she should be fired from CNN.
If there ever was a 2 leg creature that needed a burka she's it.
Oh, oh...KLA, UCK, Hashim Thaci...Iranian backed? Friend to Jamie Rubin, husband to Amanpour?
She is a leftist mouth piece... I am sure any 'intelligience' she provided was not based upon content but based upon contact. The content she mouths could be found on any of the many moonbat 'news' web sites...
I remember fondly my very first yanked post here a few years ago speculating how lovely her head might look in a jar of formaledhyde.
The same, Rubin was on the phone with Thaci every day (according to Rubin) when Clinton was bombing Serbia.

Calls for Censure of Bush and Cheney (Barf Alert)
John Conyers (D Mich.):
"The latest incidence of the Bush Administration's abuse of power underscores why we must unite to take strong action now. Late last night we learned that NBC is investigating reports that the National Security Agency (NSA) conducted wiretaps of CNN reporter, Christiane Amanpour. While it is very troubling that the NSA would be targeting journalists to uncover terrorist plots, what is especially disconcerting is that Ms. Amanpour's husband served as a senior advisor to the John Kerry presidential campaign and would have been using the same phone that the Agency is alleged to have been wiretapping. The overreach of the NSA in conducting warrantless wiretaps is astounding in its audacity and I have demanded the White House disclose to Congress whether, and to what extent, journalists have been under surveillance and report on additional elements of this program. 21 other Members of Congress joined me in this request, a copy of which may be found on RawStory.com."
Here's a blast from the past, re: Amanour and Rubin, from Drudge -- see how the other half lives (Darius is the name of their son):

DRUDGE ESSAY - WHO'S WATCHING DARIUS?
WASHINGTON -- "Do you have any champagne?" CNN60MINUTES all-star Christiane Amanpour asked the bartender at the BLOOMBERG after-party as she giggled with her husband Jamie Rubin who wore no black-tie even thought the invitation required it.
"All the rebels have become conformists," I later said to Amanpour as we sat and talked about the sell out.
With Jamie rolling his eyes, I accused Amanpour of blindly supporting The State, as I donned a T-shirt of an ironed-on Elian Gonzalez at gunpoint [copyright Alan Diaz, ASSOCIATED PRESS].
"That's just horrible you're wearing thaaaat," Amanpour said in between sips in an accent that spans the continents.
