Expecting to hear this dicussed tomorrow, which is today.

Limbaugh and Hannity and other radio talkers will discuss it, but how many major news organizations didn't have people inside Iraq? Even Fox did. What if they're all compromised this way? Who will be the first to admit that they're amoral scum who are interested in neither truth nor honor, but only in revenue and celebrity?

They ALL had minders. AP, Fox, Reuters MSNBC....the whole lot of them. I'm sure CNN wasn't the only network hearing/knowing these stories

Galahad (of the excellent name) you are correct, Sir. I'm ready to believe CNN might be worse than the rest, but I'm also ready to believe its sins may only be among those of many others. And I think this author should be acknowledged for speaking the truth, even at this too late date.

All this, all this horror that will now be revealed will show to all who can think for themselves that Bush, and Blair, were not b-s-ing anyone.

We live in a fallen world, so far fallen from perfection and even, often, good, that to have forthright men like Bush and Blair in the lead is as good as we are going to do sometimes.

Most of the folks in the West won't soon slip back into the haze of celebrity worship we were lately in. Sure, sure, people will go on with their own personal lives, but that is all the more reason why LEADERSHIP is important.

And Freerepublic is a big part of what is going to change this world. This is the information age, that is really the great change. As great as the Industrial Revolution, as great as the Renaissance. No one knows where it is going to take all of us; but is it going to take all of us somewhere we've never been before. And in the Information Age, it'll be to the good to get Truth out there, in front.

The others may be compromised to some extent, CNN was in there years before anyone else -- so much the more "embedded," so to speak.

And maybe someone can refresh my memory: I think I saw something on one of the live war threads, early on: when Iraqi TV was knocked off (all too briefly), it was reported that Ted Turner offered CNN's resources to help.
