If not in criminal, than civil court.

Excuse me for offering a dissenting view, but just what would you have done that would have saved the employees from being tortured or killed?

I got one thing to say about that!

Why, after being kicked out, did they still continue to withhold the truth until now?

Why did they not help GWB make his point, rather than oppose him at every turn? Questioning his authority and his intelligence.

I'll tell you why! It is because to do so would be to justify the war.

They can't and still won't do that! It would help Bush!

Are you as floored by this article as I am? I'm at a loss to describe how I feel about it.

They could left Baghdad in protest of Iraq's treatment of journalists, but would we have gotten a full a picture as we did got? How much did a fuller picture contribute to the end result?

It doesn't seem to so clear to me that CNN can be accused of complicity here.

I would have pulled my people out of Iraq the moment it because clear that their presence was preventing me from reporting the truth.

And would the rest of the news organizations do the same?

We are all either collectively over reacting, or this is an
iceberg with the SS CNN headed right for it.
Honestly, how can they EVER justify this?

While I do not doubt that the author has suffered by knowing these horrors and feeling the need to not report them, there is an extremely self-serving, a nauseatingly almost self-congratulatory, odor to this piece. Even the headline stinks.

Red herring.

Weasel words.

Deflection.
