I wonder if the reason this is coming out now is because CNN was recently thrown out of Iraq for suspicion of spying and CIA connections. Could this be their way of reassuring tyrants elsewhere that they can be trusted?

Good thinking. North Koreans, Chinese, Syrians, etc will pick up that (embedded) message and continue to roll out the red carpet for the CNN traitors.

This also at least partially explains why CNN announcers today are unrepentant and continue on their nasty way trying to discredit Bush. I don't get CNN, but other posters here have mentioned this.

Someone has probably mentioned the comparison to the situation in the 30s and 40s when Walter Duranty of the NYT failed to report what he knew about the crimes of Stalin, but just in case anyone wants to read a good column about it, here's one from the National Review that came up in a search:

The Paper of Record--An apology that is long overdue.

Good point, but remember, we can now denounce, repudiate, and/or question the reliability of anything that CNN now reports in a totalitarian country. Their integrity is now in tatters, if we continue to push the story along.
