CNN hired Iraqis in Iraq for the Iraqi bureau. The Iraqis were the ones Jordan was protecting. He couldn't just take those Iraqis into the U.S. without the Iraqi and U.S. government's approval. Did it ever occur to you that CNN could have told saddam that if one of their employees in Iraq was arrested or tortured for a story they reported, they would mention the arrest and torture. They didn't go down that route and appeased saddam, all for the "prestige" of having a Baghdad bureau.

And you think that would have stopped Saddam from doing just that? Rememember, he kicked CNN out of the country before the war.
