CNN Knew of Torture Since 1991 - Did Bill Clinton Know?

Since Eason Jordan's mea cuppa today about turning the other way during Saadam's reign of terror since 1991, we have to ask the next logical questions, and DEMAND ANSWERS. Since a bureau chief undoubtedly reports to the president of the network, it's safe to assume that Mr. Jordan advised CNN head Rick Kaplan what was going on. Shouldn't he be questioned as to what he knew and when did he know it.

We therefore also have to ask Mr. Kaplan, who was a regular at the Clinton White House, and often bragged about his closeness to the President, whether he informed Mr. Clinton of these facts, and of CNN's involvement in the cover-up.

Mr. Clinton must be asked these questions, under the threat of subpoena, if necessary. Congress should immediately start an investigation of this sordid mess.

Didn't any of these clowns ever watch Schindler's List? They conveniently drop a tear at a movie, and overlook thousands being slaughtered in real time.

THEY MAKE ME SICK!

Rush: "The truth is the truth. These people opposed the use of military force so that the suffering of others might end. They've cast their lot with the U.N. bureaucracy and the obstructionism of the French and the Germans and this whole appeasement plan, in hopes of derailing this war of liberation and scoring political points against the president they hate. That's the bottom line. They were doing whatever they could to stop this war. I'm sorry to have to include CNN in this, but the whole left-wing media was doing everything it could to thwart this war, and look at what they knew was going on all the while."

CONSERVAPHOBIA (start using the word everywhere) is alive and well at CNN.

Our two new war cries:

What did CNN know, and when did they know it!!?

No Blood for Ratings!!

[bosshog]

I'd like him to answer under a threat of subpoena... but he would just lie again... no friggin' credibility..

[jwalsh07]

Of course he knew, he also knew that the jihadists were using Americans and American soldiers as tin cans for plinking. He's a waste to even discuss, there is nothing redeemable about him, nothing.

You can bet Clinton knew about it -- in fact, in 1998 when he backed down and only lobbed some cruise missles at Saddam, he talking about the evil dictator.

We need to keep asking just what the Clintons knew about Saddam and when they knew it. Last night there were several articles about the link of Saddam to the OKC Bombing which I have always believed that the Clintons covered up!

Iraq just may be the smoking gun on a lot of people and organizations -- CNN and the Clintons come to mind!

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Can the media creatures be charged with aiding and abetting a war crime? A crime against humanity? As I recall they hung or imprisoned Germans serving under the Hitler government who knew about war crimes but did not participate.

[Dems_R_Losers]

This just leaves me speechless. If we ever had reason to watch CNN, this should demolish it.

[TopQuark]

Didn't any of these clowns ever watch Schindler's List?

Oh, but for the Left every new dictator is different: this one is going to be humane. All previous ones -- Hitler, Lenin, Stalin, Pol-Pot --- all distorted the true socialism.

How many Americans, including those supporting the war, even know that Baath Party is a socialist party?

[TopQuark]

Sorry, #10 was meant for you.

[LPStar]

I seriously doubt any government official, including the President George Bush in 1991, was unaware that Iraq committed widespread torture. So this goes a lot further than Clinton.

Even I knew Iraq was a torture state. CNN failed to report this, and they were wrong. But CNN was hardly the only organization or person to know what was going on.

Eason's actions are, without doubt, sick and inhuman. And, The 'Toon most definitely knew. This is how far liberals are willing to go for a buck and to try to discredit Bush. With them, it's not America or humanity first, it's international socialism--iNazi-ism--first.

You can bet Clinton knew about it

Eason Jordan----->Rick Kaplan------->Bill Clinton.

Now, that wasn't that hard, was it?

[cardinal4]

Mr. Clinton must be asked these questions, under the threat of subpoena, if necessary.

He has already demonstrated hes a liar, what makes you think a subpoena means anything to him?

[The G Man]

Eason Jordan----->Rick Kaplan------->Bill Clinton.

Now, that wasn't that hard, was it?

Howlin ... you must ROCK at "the Kevin Bacon game"!

NO BLOOD FOR RATINGS!!

Waco could have been taken from Saddam's playbook.
