The News We (CNN) Kept To Ourselves

Excerpt:

Then there were the events that were not unreported but that nonetheless still haunt me. A 31-year-old Kuwaiti woman, Asrar Qabandi, was captured by Iraqi secret police occupying her country in 1990 for "crimes," one of which included speaking with CNN on the phone. They beat her daily for two months, forcing her father to watch. In January 1991, on the eve of the American-led offensive, they smashed her skull and tore her body apart limb by limb. A plastic bag containing her body parts was left on the doorstep of her family's home.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.

Chief news executive at CNN writes this, and yet they still show disdain for our actions in Iraq in their reporting? Even after this??

Just today I watched CNN long enough to get an idea of how the "tilt" was going to be regarding this war. I honestly couldn't watch it for more than 20 mins.

The reporters are smug and seem almost gleeful when something bad happens to American forces. I can't explain it.. you have to see it.

But even more disturbing yet.. is reading a report like this.. knowing they knew what they did.. and yet they act like this President was wrong to go in. For humanitarian reasons alone, it would have been reason enough for war.

God Forgive these people for knowing what they knew.. and never getting it out. They could have leaked it to another network, at a later date.. something!! This is just insane. Anything for a dollar..

I can see a CIA agent going underground and witnessing these kinds of atrocities.. but I can't understand this. Especially since they DID NOT REPORT IT at the time!!

Perhaps I'm just "reacting" to what I just read, and I'm wrong. But man.. this makes me ill.
