Then it may have been valuable for your organization to publicly condemn CNN's whitewash reporting for Saddam.

Throughout Iraq, freed citizens have begun a hunt for vast underground prisons where thousands of Iraqis were believed held by the regime. So far, no such prisons have been discovered.

"There's probably much more to be found," she said, noting that hidden prisons may be discovered.

If these prisons exist, the time to locate them is running out.

CNN was as much a part of the mass day-to-day torture and murder system as any of Saddam's Ba'ath criminal thugs. Worse, actually.

Same applies to other paid disinformation and secret lobbying agents of Saddam (Ritter, Galloway, Chirac, ?????? as yet unidentified other liberals).

The TRUTH that has been uncovered by our brave U.S. Servicemen and Women needs to be printed on the FRONT PAGE OF EVERY LIBERAL RAG NEWSPAPGER IN THE UNITED STATES!

It should be rubbed in the faces of all the antiwar protestors, Hollyweed, France, Germany, Russia and the UnUnited Nations for the next twenty years!
