Rather told the Philadelphia Inquirer the week-long commemoration of Reagan's life was journalistic overkill and hinted that he was anxious to return to stories he thought were more important, like the Abu Ghraib prison scandal.
Yeah, after all Dan, this prison scandal has ONLY been in the news for a month now, and I don't thnik you have reported on ALL the angles yet! It deserves MUCH more reporting than our former 2 term president deserves!! (sarcasm/off)
Rather and CBS won't show the video of when Saddam was in charge of Ah-boo Grabber prison. It was shown to the Senators and offered to all the news media outlets. CBS and the rest passed on a the video copies. I guess CBS likes porn pictures more than they desire to show Saddam cutting off limbs, tongues and heads while reading the Koran.
Besides, these guys have not waited. They have been slamming Reagan in all their reports since the day he died...with all the Iran-Contra crap and the "cashing in on the Presidency after he left office" and on and on... They are only waiting for him to be in the ground before they really bare their fangs and spit venom. For now, they are just slithering.
