And you call me a disruptor. Let me see if I can explain this to you in language you can understand. CNN hired Iraqis in Iraq for the Iraqi bureau. The Iraqis were the ones Jordan was protecting. He couldn't just take those Iraqis into the U.S. without the Iraqi and U.S. government's approval. Knowing Saddam, if CNN had just picked up and left, Saddam would have punished the employees whether they had anything to do with it or not.

Quit while you're ahead.

He never said that the Iraqis told him that the man was going to be killed.

He said UDAY told him.

Now, do you think he should have protected Uday as a "source?"

Did it ever occur to you that CNN could have told saddam that if one of their employees in Iraq was arrested or tortured for a story they reported, they would mention the arrest and torture. They didn't go down that route and appeased saddam, all for the "prestige" of having a Baghdad bureau.
