Let me get this straight. If CNN factually reported all they knew about people being torured and killed by Hussein's regime, it would get people tortured and killed?
How about if they came out sooner, it may have prevented more people from being tortured and killed. Maybe the USA wouldn't have had to dance with the UN for a year and a half before getting Saddam.
On the other hand, this story is just going to fade away. Any major news organization is not going to make a big deal over it because chances are that they had people in Iraq who knew about this stuff also. Chances are that includes all the major networks AND are beloved FOX unfortuneately.

You're kidding yourself. The UN Dance would have happened anyway, because Powell and Europe wanted to do the "diplomacy thing" first. Don't lay all of this at CNN's feet.
