Good article. But I can answer most of the questions presented. The answer is a big fat "NO WAY". No interviews, no internal investigation, no nothing. This joker will become the darling of the left. A great case of situational ethics.

boy, the leftist liberal major media is sure ducking this issue. It is getting almost no play.
Confessions of what we conservatives have known for years - that the major media constantly lies, coversup, and spins their stories, contrary to their basic charter.

Eason Jordan was just on The PBS Newshour and Terrence Smith, a reliably liberal hack who is the "media correspondent" for the show, unsurprisingly asked none of the questions Hewitt very perspicaciously raises, and in fact tried to couch his questions in a way designed to put CNN in the best possible light.

Let CNN know, that we know, what they knew, and they have the blood of innocent Iraqis on their filthy hands.
Email them here (
cnn@cnn.com ) to let them be made aware they have lost all credibility and are not to be trusted. What are they now (did) covering up in Cuba, China, Russia and etc?
Late at night CNN International becomes absolutely vicious in their attacks on America when they are playing to their third world daylight buds in the Islamist world.
CNN, creeps all.

CNN now has a bureau in Havana. I read a report several months ago that a Cuban dissident group pursuaded CNN to come out and video their protest. This group only decided to protest because they felt safe that the CNN video would be broadcast, as promised.
But CNN double crossed them, and said nothing about the protest, and these people were arrested.
I don't know all the details of this, but CNNs Baghdad story is over with. Havana is today.

"Saddam's crazy son Uday had told Eason in 1995 that he, Uday, intended to assassinate two of his brothers-in-law. The two men were not warned by CNN and were eventually lured back into Iraq where they were murdered."If this be true, then this is complicity in murder.

Isn't it?
To: XBob
boy, the leftist liberal major media is sure ducking this issue. It is getting almost no play. But thanks to Bill O'Reilly (who's covering it tonight) and others, it'll be exposed to the light.

Isn't it? Among those who aren't devoid of a conscience (CNN obviously excluded), it surely is.

"...Some observers exploded in outrage at CNN's complicity in the crimes of Saddam Inc. Still others asked why Jordan chose to make his confession now.
In fact, there are a series of questions that need answering in short order. CNN is, after all, part of a publicly traded company with obligations to its investors.
Jordan's decisions have tainted CNN's reputation, undermining the key asset of a news gathering organization--credibility...
...CNN's credibility may be beyond salvage, but any serious effort at holding itself out as a reliable news source will have to follow full disclosure of key questions, some of which the SEC might also be interested in." - Hugh Hewitt
As Hugh noted earlier, should not
CNN deserve AL LEAST as much interest as
ENRON?

Sure, hit them in the pocket.

Will CNN be appointing a special counsel to conduct an internal review of the handling of this matter? Will Time-Warner's board be appointing such a special counsel? That would be the appropriate and responsible thing to do, but I pretty much doubt it.

Mike Reagan, on his radio show tonight,
gave Coverup the News Network an excoriation, particularly for Cuba. He quoted a lot of good stat's on the Lying, and spinning, and how they love dictatorships, give them good marks, and positive stories, and their value in reporting the news is less than Zero.
Here is a link to Mike's site, though this info is not on there yet:
