And you think that would have stopped Saddam from doing just that? Rememember, he kicked CNN out of the country before the war

Well look what that 12 years of appeasement towards saddam got CNN, kicked out of saddam's Iraq anyway, and in the meantime CNN covered up the brutalities of saddam's regime all for the "prestige" of a Baghdad bureau.

Look, I don't like the reporting of CNN and their slant any better than you do. But was it CNN's appeasement, or the world's appeasement (namely the U.N. countries and Clinton) that allowed this situation to go on for 12 years?

Be careful now, Dane. You don't want to confuse this diamond dude with facts, reality and common sense. After all, as his profile states, she/he is a left coast lawyer. :-))

Me thinks this NYT/CNN "item" will be around mucho-longer than the average 24 hour news cycle. Its got more legs than Radio City Hall's Rockette dancers.
