I knew it was BS when he said they were accused of being CIA. KGB yes, CIA no way in hell.

I wonder if Judy Woodruff knows all this.
Or cares.

I accuse CNN of being
complicit in the torture of these people by cooperating with Iraqi authorities just so they could get a camera into Iraq.
It is too late too come clean. They are as guilty as the regime if they knew this was happening and still prostrated themselves just to get a story.

"Each time I visited, I became more distressed by what I saw and heard awful things that could not be reported because doing so would have jeopardized the lives of Iraqis, particularly those on our Baghdad staff." Bull! I believe these stories were withheld because CNN feared Iraq would have them removed from the country. Whatever the case, I hope that CNN has a severe case of the guilts right now because they were effectively allowing this regime to continue unreported.

And those bastards at CNN dared question whether we should let the weapons inspectors end the standoff. This makes me sick.

And this from CNN . . . the bastards . . . and even if you buy into CNN's rationale for not going public, how could they still attempt in every way possible to undermine our political will to crush Saddam . . . sickos and bastards . . . CNN and Saddam both . . .

CNN was complicit in this regime's power. CNN was more interested in keeping a bureau open in Baghdad than telling the truth.
That should give us all pause, when we feel forgiving towards the media whores.
To: Pokey78
OK< Hollywood....tell me this is just ok with you. That we should look the other way. That this is someone else's problem...go ahead susan siranwrap...timmy boobins, you tell me that this is fine, you gutless wonders.

I hardly know what to make of this; I couldn't begin to express what I'm feeling right now.

So why is CNN relieving themselves of a long kept secret to the NYTimes? Why not report it on CNN, LIVE?
To: Pokey78
By failing to tell any of these stories CNN possibly could have contributed to the Hussein regime enduring and those abuses continuing.
Those stories coming from CNN would likely have had a major impact on the anti-war crowd.
Fortunately, it ended up not mattering.
They should have withdrawn totally from Iraq rather than stay and keep their mouths shut.
It's an interesting debate in journalistic ethics. I see Jordan's point, but I disagree with it.

The Saddam regime corrupted, maimed, or killed everything it touched--from abstract truth, to flesh and blood, to everything in between.
Yet another reason to rejoice in the toppling of Saddam.
To: Pokey78
I guess to some of these a--holes, the story is more impt. than a life!
For some reason, CNN is more of an appeaser and has aided and abetted for much too long!
If my cameraman and my employees were dying and being tortured, THAT is the story!! What in the hell is a more impt. story that they were working on? My God!

CNN had been in Baghdad long enough to know that telling the world about the torture of one of its employees would almost certainly have gotten him killed and put his family and co-workers at grave risk This Dreckspass (german word), this idiot enabler of Clinton and and his ilk, this week-kneed scum does not deserve the Freedom that our Founding Fathers pledged their sacred honor for. Sacred honor - this gerbil of the demoronic debauched wouldn't know sacred honor if he were standing under Sadam's statue when it fell on him. They are willing to claim that Westmoreland gassed innocents when he didn't, but they refrain from informing on Sadam when he did.
When I watched CNN I would curse and scream and throw things at the screen. Now I will just turn it off, and sit in stunned silence with the knowledge of that the blood of millions is on their hands - and on the hands of Ted Turner and Jane Fonda. And may God have mercy on their souls.

Is that what I think it is, surrendering Iraqi soldiers?
